my 96 is limping along with a bad front right wheel bearing as well as probably a bad rear right one as well. I was just wondering what do I order part wise if I wanted to replace these. I really dont have any great bank of car repair knowledge to go off of here. The reason im askin is cause im looking to save some $ and order the parts I need offline somewhere, prolly napa because im ordering a new front left half shaft from them. thanks for the good words

The front is easiest to change with a complete new knuckle.

The rear is easy to do at home and not expensive. You need a 32mm socket though.

When you reach the part of actually removing the wheel bearing, it is not. The hardest part is removing the drive axle from the front knuckle because it is time consuming, of course, that includes putting it back into the knuckle.

Thats what I had to work with, a new hub & bearing assembly and the torque to yield parts. The wheel bearing cannot be ordered by itself it comes as an assembly with the hub. Since I see you are from MI, go to Murray's Auto Parts you'll get it cheaper there.
