well im pretty sure i've searched and found what im looking for, but i want to be sure before i get into it and discover its not what i wanted
im doing this on a 94 ex EB edition 4x4, and will start in about two hours. so anyone who can provide me any information before then i would really appriate it.
btw also i have been searching here and via google for the better part of three hours and this is the closest i could come to my answer.
i'll be getting inner and outter bearings and races along with new seals
below is what i found which was from this site
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
As far as the procedure the fronts are pretty easy to do.
1.) Remove hub cap and slightly loosen the 5 lug nuts and the main axle nut located in the middle of the lug nuts (I think this is a 32mm nut). Do this before jacking up the front wheels
2.) Jack up the front end making sure that you always have 2 supports at all times for safety
3.) Remove the tire
4.) Remove the axle nut.
5.) Remove the entire brake caliper assembly from the knuckle. Carefully support this with a wire or old metal coat hanger from the suspension coil spring. This is necessary to not over stress the rubber brake line.
6.) Remove the brake rotor
7.) Remove the speed sensor. This is the small sensor attached to the wheel bearing with a socket cap screw. Be care full to not damage the wire or sensor head. Keep the sensor head clean.
8.) Remove the 3 bolts that hold the bearing assembly to the knuckle. These bolts are located on the back of the knuckle and are evenly spaced around the drive shaft. I believe the best tool to remove these is a good 15mm box wrench.
9.) Remove the wheel bearing. This can best be achieved with a slide hammer, but I have done it with a baby sledge hammer hitting the hub repeatedly from side to side until it is free. The bearing assembly sits snugly into the knuckle and with corrosion may take some significant 'persuasion' to remove.
NOTE: When actually removing the bearing assembly be sure not to extend the drive shaft CV joints as this can damage them. I use a general purpose pulley puller to push the drive shaft out of the bearing spline while I am removing it.
To re-assemble just reverse the above steps.
