walk me through this...hub replace

OK, going to the junkyard tommorrow to acquire a set of auto locking hubs. What will I need to take the old off? What parts do I need to get for the exchange? Any special tools needed? I'm assuming this can't be too tough a job....am I wrong? My Chilton's manual is worthless on describing this process.

What year do you have? Are the hubs "floating"? (some just slide off in your hands after removing the wheel)

If they aren't "floating" you'll need snap-ring pliers, large sockets, possibly a magnet.. but it varies from year to year...

Then the new ones should pop right on...

Or do you want to disassemble the bearings too?
