Re: How To: Front Wheel Bearing Hub Assembly
7. Get flat head screw driver and hammer, pry the cap little by little rotating it in a star pattern until it pops off.
8. Use your breaker-bar or leverage bar with a 1/2'' attachment with the 36mm socket to remove the wheel bearing retaining nut. 9. Remove the wheel hub assembly, mine just slid off with a little work, some have had to tap it out with a hammer.

Re: How To: Front Wheel Bearing Hub Assembly
10. Replace with new unit tapping it in a star pattern to seat it properly.
11. Reinstall Retaining nut, tighten and use your 36mm socket and torque wrench. I've read multiple how- to's regarding the TQ rating and they varied from 246ftlbs to 258ftlbs. I just went and maxed my torque wrench out at 250tqlbs. 12. Reinstall the cap, rotor and caliper assembly holder. 13. Reinstall your caliper, you might need to push the pads and pistons in to fit it over the rotor again. 14. Reinstall wheel, lug nuts, tighten them, lower the car, re-tighten the lugs again. Test drive. Enjoy!:beer:

Re: How To: Front Wheel Bearing Hub Assembly
Nice write-up, I just did mine a few months ago. Exactly the same steps you showed, minus the use of the breaker bar, I used my impact wrench to get that beast off.
I purchased mine off of amazon, Timken was the brand. I think they were ~40 each. This should be a sticky!!!
