Replaced front wheel studs And now wheels dont turn free like they did.
Ok. Of course the hub came out for the wheel studs. The nut that hold the hub in waS loose when i was taking it apart. Actually both sides were loose. As in, I never used a tool on that nut i just turned it out with my fingers.
When i went to put everything back in. I decided to take off the ABS gear off.
SO that is deleted. WOuld deleting the ABS gear on the front cause problems?
ANyways I finished putting everything back and the FSM says torque the HUB bolt to 14-22lbs. Thats the one that came out by hand. SO i did torque it at 15 lbs.
Now when i jack the front tires of the ground and try to spin them they barely spin free. Did I **** somehting up? It didnt do this before.
Oh. I have not driven the car yet. SO maybe the pads need to break in again since the hub is tighter than before.? They are 1 month old pads.

Yes the front hubs are stupid easy to do.
Only one bearing was taken out. The outside bearing and its washer. I lubed them back up and Put them back in after i had swapped the studs. Hub spun nice untill i torqued it down.
I was only woring with like 3 peices.. I couldnt of forgot anything.
1. Hub+inner bearing that never came out
2. Outer bearing that is cone shaped was put aside since it come out so easly along with its washer.
3. The nut for the hub along with its nut cover and pin.
Thats all there is..

OK. I figured it out and already redid it.
You are supposed to trque it to 14-22 lbs and spin the hub a few times. This sets the bearing.
Thenb you are suposed to untighten it and tighten it back up HAND TIGHT!.
NO wonder i was able to take them off with my fingers originally.
DONE DEAL. FINISHED.
