I removed the hub myself. I didn't find it to be too hard. No special tools required (is a breaker bar a special tool? How about with a 3' extension on the end?  ) The most difficult and damn frustrating part for me was getting the parking brake retaining pins back in. Those damn little spings and caps are a PITA.
The main points: If your suspension hasn't been apart in a while, and/or you live in the rust belt, liquid wrench is you best friend, followed shortly by leverage. |
Thank you. I am gonna try the tire thing. It has four newer tires but the rims are kinda pitted and that tire looses air on occasion. The tread looks good. It really sounds like a bearing. Once the weather breaks I'm gonna change it.
