96 ford explorer wheel bearings

[GreenBayGuru]

I'm just wondering what it all entails to replace both my front tire wheel bearings and if its a job I can do in the driveway or should I take it in?

Like what kind of tools would I need?

This is my 1st attempt ever at wheel bearings =/

You just need to take the axle nut off, the brake stuff, and break the 3 bolts holding the hub on loose. Those nuts are a pain in the ass if they have never been off. First time took me about 3 hours not knowing what i was doing.

Here's a thread on how to change your front hubs.

Just remember to spray plenty of liquid wrench on the bolts before you try to remove them and tap them with a hammer to loosen up the rust.
This is definitely some thing that you can do. The above link will tell you what you need to do the job. Good luck.
