I agree get a Haynes. I use it when I am doing something and get "stuck". Walk inside, grab the book, "OOOOooooo, Thats how that piece comes out" and waaa lah. And it is just one extra bolt. You WILL NEED to get these from the dealership, and they arent cheap. But YOU CAN NOT REUSE THE ORIGINALS. I repeat: DO NOT REUSE THE ORIGINALS.

I'll call my connect today. Was busy spreading 6 cu yds of mulch (check my post in Gen. Disc.) They should be able to fit in a USPS Flat Rate Envelope, so shipping would only be like $5-6. I'll let you know round lunch time CST.

I wonder if the set I ordered come with new bolts. What is the problem with reusing them and how expensive do you think they are?

its the nut. its a nylon lock nut and its not "supposed" to be reused. you might get away with it on some things, but the hub is fairly important so i would buy new ones.

These are the exact parts needed.

Normally you would have to buy the bearing with the entire hub assembly but this site I found offers just the bearings. Cost me 50 bucks to install each side. Rides like a dream again.

Yea it was something I could have done if I had a press. Just take off the rotor and press the old bearing out and press the new one in.
