Default Gonna attempt to replace hub/bearing assembly and pull axle shaft.

Do I need a press to remove or install the hub assemblies??
I read that the hub nut is 175 ft-lbs. True??
Than I also wanna pull the axle shafts to inspect 'em and help to build my knowledge playing with Jeeps as well. Hard to do??
All this kinda make me but am exited to do.
Any advise and/or special tools??
Thanks.

the hub assembly comes as one unit so no pressing needed, and 175 is correct. the shafts pull right out after the hub is off, however if you have rust or anything nasty in your tubes you may want to reconsider doing that. Sucks trying to get the shaft back into the tube without contacting the sides on the way.
