What tools will I need to replace the hub assembly/ wheel bearings in the front end?

 

A good set of 12 pt metric wrenches, LOTS of PB Blaster, BFH, prybar, 12 pack, jack, jack stands

 

12 point 13mm socket and a 36mm socket, then the same tools you would use for changing a tire or your brake pads.

 

x2!!! However I prefer a product called Deep Creep from sea foam....It's like $9 a can but is so worth it. Ever since I started using it I only use my PB when I don't know where I put the deep creep.

 

Where r u located if close I can help

 

36 mm, is that the axle but??

 

Nut.

 

Yes that is the axle nut

 

I'm "ok" with my tools, what kind of troubles should I expect here?? How long should I take??(time measured in beers lol)

 

If they never been off then your looking at about an hour or so per side the hubs are gunna be stuck I used a chisel to get mine off

 

It's been a while since I've done this but I'd say a 6 pack if you drink at a moderate rate. The only hard part is pulling the hub but it WILL come out. that and those damn 13s tend to rust like all hell. If you have a hand impact driver it will help tremendously but I don't remember if it will fit back there.

 

I just replaced my u-joints in the front and the bolts went too bad with a good breaker bar and pb blast impact gun didn't fit

 

Just did both my fronts. Easiest way to get the hubs off is to put the 13mm wrench on the 3 hub nuts. One by one use the BFH to knock the hub out. Comes out like a charm every time. U will beat the hell out of them too. Done this with 3 jeeps.

 

Hub bolts. Sorry

 

For the bolts I put the long jack handle on the beaker bar and they came right off
