What do I need to change out my hub bearings?
'02 PSD, single rears with the auto front hubs and brake sensor.
The front right wheel bearings are going south.
First...looking at NAPA's site there are several choices of hubs...I assume the choice of fine or coarse thread is refering to the wheel studs?
Any other parts I should purchase to do this changeout? Like any new seals, etc.?
Any special tools? and is there any info on here for changing these out?
Thanks FTE!

So last night I'm ready to reassemble the axle with my new hub, tightening up the nuts that holds the hub assembly on, and one of the nuts strips out! (with only 70ft-lbs torque...about half what they require, IIRC).
Anyone know the ford part number of the replacement nut? I think it's a M14-1.5 best I can tell...flanged nut.

I would check the grade of bolt before doing this. Just replaced much of the suspension on my old Contour, and that little 3,200 lb car requires grade 10.9 bolts for much of the suspension that can only be had at the Ford dealer. You do NOT want to cheap out on suspension fasteners.
