Its a PITA. I did the drivers on mine last year and today I just did the passengers. If you take the whole knuckle off, the part the bearing is in. You will most likley have to replace the DTSS bushings with DTSS eliminators since they get ruined when you remove that one bolt. you will need a break bar to remove the bolt for the DTSS bushing.

I also replaced both rear struts with Tokico HPs. Both rears were bad.

I noticed my drivers is going out again but I think that is my fault. I kinda messed up the seal on the bearing so im sure crap got in there. First time doesn't always work out the way you want it.

You should order a new gasket which goes behind the bearing. Can't see how important it is though.
