Many have attempted. So far, I have not heard of one who has succeeded.
Someone with a spare month, a pile of old ones, a complete machine shop, and access to a fully-stocked bearing supply house could succeed, no doubt!
That's to say it COULD be done, but there's got to be an economic law of diminishing returns in effect here.
If anyone has done this, let us know, huh?

I guess it's fair. I wonder how much the dealer would charge?

It has been a little while since I done mine I think around 120,000 miles, I'm at 153,000 now. The stealer quoted me about $450 per hub (part only) and $1,200 for both sides and labor. I didn't realize at the time these were sealed bearings and I was getting ready to tow my travel trailer over the mountains and didn't want a bearing to seize because I installed it wrong, so I had the stealer do the job. I could be wrong here but I feel if one side goes out the other is not far behind so I would recommend replacing both if you can. Just my two cents worth though.

The rear sensor is to easy to install and is not expensive enough to justify ordering in online. Any autoparts store should have it. The one at Kragen was $16 while the one at the dealer was $25 so I just got one at the dealer for peace of mind.

My bad, it was $16. I got it at Oreilly's. The fuel filter was $6.
I realize I may be in the wrong thread here. I have a 1997 F150 Lariat 4X4 which I believe may have 4 wheel ABS. I will check on the front later, I have not had time. While the light is out I still feel an occasional ABS action on slow speed stops.

If the speedo is acting erratically, it is probably the VSS on the diff. You might be able to take yours out and clean it if it is working at speeds over 20. The dealer carries the VSS for around 20 buck, at least that was what I gave for mine.
