Looking at my service manual there seems to be a number of special tools required to do a front wheel bearing. But it also looks like one might be able to get around most of them. Anybody ever done one and have advice? Or would I just be better off bringing the car in and having it done? (At this stage of my life I know its important to pick your battles).
Thanks

The front hub bearing must be pressed out of (and back into) the knuckle. Without a hydraulic press, it ain't happening.
But if you're the original owner of the vehicle (or within 5 years and
60k), there's good news. The warranty on this component is 10 years/100k miles for the original owner. If you're within the warranty period, let the dealer fight your battle for you.MotorsForum website is not affiliated with any of the manufacturers or service providers discussed here.
