Whit,

Good advice from Mikie... I am able to do my own but without taking pictures for illustration purposes and/ or talking to you over the phone I'm not sure how to type it out... The two biggest items to make sure you get right is driving the inner bearing races in place without damaging them and then when you tighten the tension nut for the hub.. Too loose and you'll ruin the new bearings, too tight and the same will happen only in short order due to overheating...

For $50 take it to a mechanic and ask him if you can watch because you'de like to learn in case you would ever burn one out on the road and would need to replace it yourself...? I would think most guys would be willing to let you watch under those circumstances.
