  1. You will need some mechanical knowledge to replace that front wheel bearing. It is pressed into the steering knuckle and is a unitized(sealed) bearing. Support the front of the vehicle on jackstands, your life or limbs are not worth a wheel bearing!!! Remove the desired wheel. Remove the 2 mounting bolts for the front brake caliper. Remove the brake caliper and front brake rotor. Remove the upper and lower ball joint nuts, the outer tie rod end nut and the outer cv joint nut. Use a pickle fork to seperate the ball joints and outer tie rod end from the steering knuckle. Remove the steering knuckle. Note: you may have to tap lightly on the outer cv joint shaft with a hammer to drive it through the knuckle being careful not to hit or damage the threads. Lay the knuckle face down on a flat surface and remove the large retaining snap ring from the backside of the bearing using snap ring pliers. Place the steering knuckle face up on a press and press out the old bearing. Place the knuckle face down on the press and press in the new bearing and install a new retaining snap ring. Reverse disassembly instructions to reinstall the steering knuckle. If you cannot press the bearing due to lack of proper equiptment, i.e. "a press", your local auto parts and machine shop or goodyear or pep boys or whatever should be able to do so for you for a very nominal fee. This procedure involves your brakes and sterring and suspension systems and must be done correctly so as not to endanger you or others due to poor workmanship and is best left to an experienced professional!
