    front wheel hubs

    Some discussions on the forum. Search 'front wheel hubs' I'm looking at this myself right now. FAG is the OEM $111 on pelican. Timken I've heard is good U.S. brand and its 95.99 on Autozone.

    Also maybe look at the Bentley manual and Real OEM?

    One dust cover. You will just transfer the dust cover to the new hub.

    anyone?
    You will need a 36mm socket. It needs to be thin-walled so it will fit in there. I would go to Sears to get this, as I did this and it worked like a champ. You will also use it to put the hub back on.

    You will need a breaker bar to get the nut off.

    That's pretty much it, everything else can be reused (if you're using a new hub, I got a FAG/Timeken from autozone for less then 90$)

    good luck, if you have any other issues feel free to post.
