How easy it to change wheel bearings on my p t?

i want to change wheel bearings on my p t how easy is itHow easy it to change wheel bearings on my p t?
With the knowledge and tools, the job is very easy... If you're clueless and you have a crescent wrench to do everything, it's more challenging.



Assuming it is the front ';hub assembly';,

remove:

front wheel, caliper, rotor, spindle nut

disconnect wheel speed sensor



unbolt from the back of the spindle the bolts retaining the hub assembly.



use a hammer to tap on the back edge of the rotating part of your hub assembly (the part that your rotor and wheel bolt to)



Old hub assembly comes out.



reverse the process to reinstall new assembly. Check your repair manual for torque specs of the bolts and nuts and greater detail of the process.



You can also get a repair manual online for most vehicles free at www.autozone.com



best of luck
