  1. The dimple in the nut - just pry at it with a screwdriver or an awl. Then put wheel back on with a couple of lug nuts and lower it so tire is on the ground and loosen the nut. I used a piece of wood between the shaft and hammer. You want to push the shaft inward, Puller won't work. Jack it up and take tire off, disc off, and remove the bolts holding the hub on. Tap the flange and it should come off.
  2. The front bearings will need to be pressed in / out. Try using some large bolts, plates and pipe to make your won press
  3. It is the same. Bad hub bearing is a gowoling / howling sound and not clunking though. check your sway bar bushing, end link, or strut mounts first before you replace a hub bearing that is still good.
  4. No problem. I HATE RUST. I did this repair from all the help I got from this forum too! I have a set of thread files, but they are also hard to find.... and could not bear to point you to an industrial supply to buy them.
  5. How badly stripped are the threads? if it is minor, just borrow a die and try and clean them up. Any pictures?
  6. Thank you soooo much! I just replaced the passenger side today, rusty, and the back plate came off with the hub. I did some pre work two weeks ago by removing each hub bolt and soaking it with KROIL. The spindle nut (12 point, 30mm) to get 217 ft-lbs, is not that hard. 217 divide your weight = feet from the center. Multiply that 12 and you get inches of the breaker bar (or pipe) you step on to tighten.
