I just did this job today - thanks for all the info and details in this thread.

Just a couple notes:

-I cannot imagine doing this with the hub in place. Much easier to do on a press. We had a 20 tons press and no issue. Take this opportunity to replace suspension components (I had done mine last year).

-I had two issues. One axle was hard to get out/in of the hub (easily pushed out with the proper puller shown) but was hard to get back in. I cleaned it up a lot but still had to bang it it in until I could get enough thread to put the nut on.

-The circlips were quite hard to get out. The one that came with the kit was lower quality, so I was not sure which one to put back on. I ended up putting the new ones.

-Price have come down a long way - I paid $55 (+ shipping) for the whole kit including the hubs from Rock Auto.

-Apparently book says 5.8 hours, it took me 4 hours with a car lift and the proper tools readily available. Many things can go wrong though, I got lucky.

-I went to this DIY place - Ron the owner is great guy. Home - Gearhead

-Car is definitively more quiet now and feels more tight, and I seem to have less vibration. The old bearings seemed okay (not destroyed) but I guess there were due. Car has 1800000 miles.

Thanks again for everyone who have posted and contributed before me, it really helped.
