I just got a 86 toyota pickup 2wd. I am new to this so, rip on me all you want. Need to replace a sway bar link and 2 front break hoses and repack the front wheel bearing to pass inspection. I was wondering how hard is that do yourself. Do you have to an expert to change those out. If not, how much do you think its fair for a machanic to charge to change that out.

 

they are easy to replace. 2 bolts per side for the sway bar. the soft brake lines are a 10mm (make sure you use a flare wrench to avoid rounding it) and a clip. you should be able to swap out both sides in an hour. repacking wheel bearings is also easy, i'm not sure about 2wd but it should just require you to tear apart the front end and replace them. (why go thru so much work just to repack them when you can just replace them) where are you located maybe somene near by can help.
