    Looks like one of my rear wheel bearings is shot so I have to yank the hub off this week. Does anyone know of a good shop that can swap bearings for me? I have used the Metric Auto shop down my the High Bridge in the past but as far as I can tell they are more or less closed up.

    Thanks in advance! :)

    That way you dont mess the alignment if you do the front works on rears too.

    +1^ If you take that hub off and manage not to mangle the bolts, your alignment will need adjustment.

    The harbor freight tool actually works really well, especially for the price. Just make sure you grease the threads of the screw! Worth the investment.

    I can vouch for the HF tools, also you can borrow the slide hammer and hub adapter from Advance Auto parts (check other shops, they may be able to help you, but I used Advance Auto).

    Grease the threads, take your time, and DON'T forget the circlip!
