[Shotimes] wheel bearing

[Dave Kegel]

Loosen the axle nut.
Jack up the car and remove the wheel.
Disconnect the brake caliper.
Remove the rotor
Disconnect the LCA from the knuckle.
Disconnect the tie rod end.
Remove the pinch bolt.
Slide the knuckle/strut assembly out from the axle.
Slide the knuckle down off the strut.
Take it to a local Napa, CarQuest, what have you and have them press in a
new bearing.
