Not sure if this has been written out somewhere, but my new wheel hub assembly finally arrived around noon today. Decided to knock it out this afternoon. It took about 1.5 hours. I followed Atlantic British' YouTube directional video for advice.
Signs of a bad bearings/hub vary, but I experienced a growling noise(very similar to tire noise) and grinding upon right hand turns.
Tools used and torque specs:
4ton jack w/ two 2ton back ups.
1/4" Socket for ABS sensor.
10mm socket for bracket bolt.
15mm socket for hub bolts 85ib.ft.
21mm 12 point socket for caliper bolts. Make sure to use a 12pt.
32mm socket for axle nut 258ib.ft
32mm socket for wheel lugs
103ib.ft.
Diamond point chisel to lock axle nut into place.
Rubber mallet or hammer to knock old assembly out.
Wire brush to clean surfaces around hub ring and ABS sensor.
An impact wrench is almost necessary as the hub bolts are tough to get off. I used Liquid Wrench(wd40 works too) to spray all the bolts prior to taking off.
