steps to replaceing front wheel bearing
im looking to do it myself, and just checking to make sure i got it right,
1. take the wheel off
2. take off the brakes, and locking hub
3. remove the retaining clip and washers off the axle
4. take off the four nuts on the back side that holds the bearing to the knuckle.
5. then pull it off bearing.
and revers steps for new bearing.
is this correct? thanks, any seals i need to know about? i just had my ball joints done 6 months ago, so they did all new seals that were required.
thanks.

If you have stock hubs you will find that you can not replace the wheel bearings, you have to replace the hubs , new hubs come with new bearings

that is a nice kit and great web page for parts, but my trucks my daily driver. so i just orderd the yellow o-ring, bearing and 4 studs now from dealer, they have all the parts ther ready for pick up. $425. but owell. ill get it started after work, and be done tonight and ready again for tomorrow. thanks everyone. if im missing something let me know. but ill be fallowing guzzles page with the laptop in the garage tonight.
friday night the truck was making some weird clicking noises, but not all the time. i jacked the truck up on sunday, and spun the wheel, it sounded like it was grinding something, and then i grabbed the wheel at 12 and 6 and i could wabble it pritty good, pritty noticable and didnt take much to wobble. (ball joints are brand new, and i didnt see any movement there, so i knew they were ok.)
truck drove fine other wize.
is there anything i have to worry about with the rear bearings with the milage i have on my truck?
thanks,
