Okay so let me explain i need my truck fixed or else i cant get to school, i have no more absences remaining so if i dont go to school i drop out and wont finish highschool nor will i be accepted to my universtiy next year (even though i already was).
Anyway, i believe my wheel bearings are shot, my front left is REALLY acting up and back right is making noise too. Front left has failed, there is a ball bearing bouncing around on hte edge of hte hub you can see it where hte hub meets the rotor or whatever... Anyway my haynes manual doesnt cover the 4x4 model, any help please!!??

what? thats very vague to say the least haha. front is a hub assembly, but rear i believe u need a special tool. plus mine are stuck i need an impact wrench
Front are hubs. Take off the brake calipers and rotors and remove the axle nut. Take out 3 bolts from back of knuckle and beat the old hub/bearing out. Reverse! May take some breaker bars/power tools/big hammers. Rear are pressed in tubes. Remove diff cover and take out bolt and cross pin to drop c-locks and pull axles (after tires/brake drums removed). Slap hammer with proper adapter will pull bearings and seals. Drive in new and reverse.

damnit the one size i didnt try haha. I need to lookup torque specs for this, for some reason they only have wheel bearing info for rear end of 2wd (maybe because rear is same as a 4x4 rear, i guess i should look up hub replacement for front)
