Is there an anti seize coating/grease that i will need to apply...this would be the blue loctite? I have a wheel bearing and axle nut ordered, is there anything else that must be replaced new?
I have replaced brakes enough to know the assembly to the rotor...i am going to go ahead and pull the wheel tommorrow and look at the assembly to see if this is bigger than i can handle...

THIS CAN BE DONE W/OUT A HYDROLIC PRESS?

I just realized that the rears and fronts have a huge difference in construction. You still don't need to take it to a dealer though. There are two options: 1 - take off the strut assembly with the hub attached and take it to a shop with a hydraulic press. They should be able to get the old bearinds out and new ones in in under 10 minutes. 2 - wait for after next weekend when I'll be doing this job. I intend to write a DIY on it since it looks like it's still doable at home.

I'll check with AAP if they have a bearing puller as a free loaner...with that it'll make the job pretty easy

I spoke to my friend who does this work all the time and his way is very easy. What he does it separete everything with pullers, puts the new bearings and the spindle in the freezer than when it's cooled significantly he just uses a socket and a rubber mallet to drive the bearing in and than once the bearing warms back up he takes the chilled spindle and drives it in as well. I'll try this method first when I get the bearings.
