How to change my front wheel bearings
alright so i drive a 95 toyota pickup, and as of late my wheel bearings are starting to go bad, according to a mechanic that i know pretty well and i work with him. (hes ceritfied too) but yea so they are going bad, but i was told i have time before i have to replace them. which is good in my world. i was wondering how hard it is to replace them and what i actually have to do. i like doing things on my own with my truck but if its not worth all the work ill just take it in i guess.. feedback is much appriciated.
thanks
thanks

i just did my 93 runner inner and outer wheel bearings 2 days ago started at 5 tools put away by 10 that included bsing with my father who came over to see what i was doing. it also included dinner.
the hardest part was getting the caliper bolts off as they had never been off. a little PB and an cheater bar and life was good
this is something anyone can do
almost forgot i changed my passenger side half shaft while i was ther cause the cv boot had a rip
go for it
hint no1
PB blaster the caliper bolts a day in advance
hint 2 order buy borrow the 54mm socket needed to take them off ( sure you can do it with a chisel and a hammer) but do it right!
