Best Answer

It takes an hour if you do the following:

Make sure you have:

3/8 in breaker bar

15mm socket

29mm hub socket

3/8 in drive elbow

3/8 in short drive extender

3/8 in socket ratchet

jack & lug wrench

Compressor and impact wrench (with adapter to connect to 3/8 in drive socket)

3 jaw bearing puller

See eBay instructions on how to do the work but add these gems:

A. Use the three jaw puller to push the spindle back toward the center of the vehicle so that there is clearance to get the impact wrench with the 3/8 in elbow and extender in there on the hub bolts.

B. The three jaw puller and a hammer can take the place of the slide hammer they recommend for the final hub removal

Without the impact wrench the three hub bolts take forever to remove (I broke two and wore out my arm joints). Using the puller to push the spindle in give you more clearance to get that socket on those bolts. The air wrench make quick work of it. Its the difference between getting the job done in 3 hours vs. 40 minutes.
