I just went back and read all the posts since the OP...
none of us answered the question...
we've mentioned the FSM, and stressed how important/unimportant it is to follow their method... none of us have given the OP actual information to use on their car... well except me, and the only info I gave is the price of the tools he/she will need.
I believe BC has posted in the past the exact specs for this job, so a search of wheel bearing in brian's posts should turn up the info...
