Hi Dale,
Earlier this month I answered your question about your car and hope that is is repaired now. I have a favor to ask:
I am competing to be recognized as 'volunteer of the month' at this site. Would take a moment to click on the "Thank/rate the expert" button below?  You will then see a question which asks whether to nominate me for that award. If you then click on "yes" that would give me another vote. Thank you for your help.

Hi Dale,
It is not so bad as the hub and bearing are a integrated part (sold a unit) bolted to the steering knuckle. So basically the brake caliper and rotor come off, then you unbolt the 3 bolts from the back side of the knuckle that hold the hub/bearing in place, pull the hub/bearing off the end of the stub axle and put the new one in place and reverse the process. There are enough fine points that it would be good to have the actual manual pages. I can xerox and postal mail to you those pages. Just tell me a postal mailing address (and if you will 'rate' my answer there is a space to enter a comment/address) and I will do that, gratis.
