Anyone have any advice or good description on how-to install new wheel bearings the the front? i got them and plan to put them on soon. any help would be great.

 

These are pretty easy and straightforward.
You have a haynes/chilton manual ? That's all you need... That'll give tightening specs, I think crossfire posted the instructions very recently in another post... and i'm too lazy to retype them, in case you already know it...

Have you ever done wheel bearings before? just to gauge your prior understanding...

 

yep, I did...

 

Simple job. First time I did it, my buddy and I were doing them with his dad telling us what to do. I've done it myself 2 or 3 times since then changing rotors, etc. Not bad at all. Packing them is pretty easy, and can be even easier with a bearing packing tool (my other buddy's dad actually designed/patented/sold his design to Snap-On IIRC). That man now drives an '05 'Vette

If you bought your bearings from Autozone, chances are two of the four won't work. Too bad I forgot if its the inner or outers that don't work... I want to say the Valucraft outers from Autozone are the wrong size.
