i have an 85' and my left front bearings are going. how hard are they to do and are there any tricks or anything i should look out for.

 

Welcome to the site!

2WD fronts are typically easier to do than the 4WD - however, either are pretty easy with the right tools - like the hub nut wrench. Suggest to get a repair manual - such as Chiltons, Motor, or Haynes - and follow the instructions. A torque wrench may also come in handy.

Also recommend to replace the seals - very difficult to remove them without some form of damage.

 

make sure to put in new races in the rotor(s) as well. Most auto parts store will sell you the bearings and races as a kit. I just use a hammer and a center punch to remove and replace the new races.

 

thank you all for the help, i am goning to tackel them this weekend..

 

If it is a four by replace the spindle bearing and seal while you have it torn down that far.
