I need a new wheel bearing
2 of the studs on my front driver side wheel bearing are stripped and I need an entire new bearing. I was looking at some different kinds on autozone.com but I have no clue how to choose. anyone have advice on which kind I should get?
thanks

idk what the quality of stock bearings are, but will there be any problems having a stock one on the right side and "the best one from o'reilles" on the left?

IMO just do both and keep the other side as a spare. It goes fairly quickly so long as the bolts aren't rusted and siezed up. If I can recall correctly you need:
3/4 socket for lugnuts
36mm socket for axle shaft nut
12mm 12 point socket for hub bolts
On a '99 13mm socket for the caliper bolts
Hammer for popping the old hubs out (sometimes this can be hard to do)

is the only problem that the studs are stripped? if so you can just replace those.
