Two words. Night Mare. Well not really two words.I hate those.
The simple little bearing has to be pressed out and in.
You will need to jack up car by jacking piont under door. So wheel hangs free.
Take off wheel, rotor, support caliper out of way.
Remove tie rod cotter pin and nut, pop tie rod out of steering knuckle.(Pickle fork) or hammer in a pinch. Same with lower ball joint.
Remove hub nut and push driveshaft as far in as it will go.
Remove the three 13mm (I think) nuts under hood on strut tower that hold the strut into strut tower.
You will take the strut and spring off as an assembly attatched to the steering knuckle which contains the bearing. CRAZY isn't it.
They do make a tool to do it on the car. It costs a bunch. The hub installer is cheap. Teh bearing press is 250.00 or something too much for a one time job.
