Bad wheel hub; next step?
 
ok so its confirmed my RF wheel bearing is shot. I am going to attempt to change myself. i think I'm pretty much ok up to after when I remove the 3 bolts holding on the wheel bearing. I've done one on my ford truck years ago, and could not get the hub off, and have flashbacks of that. Is there any special tool or puller I can use to assist removing the old hub, or will I need a sledge... thanks!

I used a sledge. Took about 2 hours for me to do the full change, but with a sledge and PB Blaster I was able to break it free.

Here's a thread I wrote on it: https://montecarloforum.com/forum/fw...ssembly-33657/

I just replaced both of my front wheel bearings and it wasn't to bad. They came out in two pieces and I did have to smack it a few times before they came out. Really the main thing is to make sure you torque the axles to 118 pounds, or your just have the same problem again.
