The real issue will be to set the clearance on the bearings - if you are oldschool and have been in practice of this job, it will be a no brainer, if you are not then use a dial gauge or get someone to set the preload for you.

Make sure to use about 60 to 70 grams of grease per wheel as the FSM tells you to do.[/QUOTE]
