I need to replace my front passenger wheel hub/bearing assembly. However, looking at the manual I can't tell what I'm really going to need in the way of tools to do the replacement. Since I only have one car it's not easy for me to just strip it down and give it a go and then hike off to the store to get tools to finish the job.

Does anyone know the size of the nut holding the hub on the spindle? Also, what sort of task can I expect getting this thing off? Is it a bitch or does it just come right off?

FWIW I'm pretty technical and built several cars, but I'm short on tools at the moment.

Thanks

I believe DAmian had a thread in the FD section with a how-to... I can't remember the size of the hub bolt, but it's an odd one. An impact gun helps tremendously... it's on pretty good.
