hey davin,
getting the cajones to tackle this myself, so from what I gather, I need a slide hammer set, a bearing press kit from harbor freight, and a 3 jaw puller for the bearings?
The bearing press kit from HF looks like it works great to get the bearing out of the hub carrier and the new bearing on, leaving the hub carrier on the car. The slide hammer is to get the hub/bearing assembly out of the carrier, and the 3 jaw puller can be used to "push" the axle inward to get it disconnected from the hub before using the slide hammer to hammer out the hub assembly?
Do i have the order of operations correct here? And theoretically, if I disconnect the lower control arm and/or strut, I should have enough room to leave the axle hanging, and can do the outer boots on it while its off right?
Thanks for any input, been doing a lot of research here and if I can do this myself with 150 worth of tools (which I would probably sell or rent out afterwards) and buy my parts, its much better than paying an indy 750 or so.
