You will need a special socket to remove the locknut/abs reluctor ring and a press to properly replace it.

And a BIG press at that. My 30 ton groaned, although a number of posters have said that a 20 ton did the job.

I know this a fairly old thread (ok, not THAT old!), but I was wondering if any of you actually had a garage replace the front wheel bearing and how much it cost. It's definitely not something I want to do at home.
