I don't want to leave you hanging out there but you would be better off buying the repair manual for this repair.
You will have a little more to do if it is 4X4, But the jest of it is, first if it is 4X4, remove the nut that hold the CV axle into the hub, the wheel comes off, brake caliper is unbolted and moved out of the way, then the brake support bracket, then slide the spline of the CV inside the hub, Then remove the four bolts that hold the hub to the spindle. Then reverse for reassembly. Note: The hub may be rusted to the spindle so you may want to try soaking that area with a good penetrating oil.
Remember the repair manual. You will need it for the torque specs. for the hub, the brakes, the lug-nuts, and the nut for the CV.

    No not really. I think if you have an Auto-zone or Sears near by you will be fine. Plus Auto-Zone rents tools for free. You will need 3/8" and 1/2" drive, metric sockets both shallow and deep. Six points should be fine (do check the bolts that hold the hup to the spindle, they might be twelve point). I think it is a 36mm deep socket for the nut on the CV., a torque wrench (1/2"drive), A good size ball-peen hammer, good penetrating oil (spray), a good floor jack and floor stand, a good drop-light, rags, emery cloth, and knee-pads. I hope that helps.

SOURCE: replacing the front axle on a 93 subaru legacy

When I replace the axle halves, I run the Nut off till it is level with the shaft end. THen take a piece of wood and set it across the shaft and hit the wood with a hammer. Usually only takes one or two hits and pops right out.Then I remove the nut and finish removal . Hope this helps, Good luck and have a great day.

SOURCE: front wheel hub assembly replacement

if you have basic knowledge you should be able to carry out this job yourself. you will probably need to ring a dealership and ask very kindly if you could have the torque settings for the nuts and bolts ect.

hope this helps.

I have a chrysler lhs 1994 with a bad front wheel bearing and i need instruction on repair

These are the steps you need to follow for this procedure if you have the proper tools.
  1. Remove front caliper assembly and rotor from the steering knuckle as outlined under "Caliper, Replace" in the "Disc Brake" unit repair section.
  2. Remove hub and bearing to stub axle retaining nut.

  4. If hub and bearing will not slide out of knuckle, insert a prybar between hub and steering knuckle and gently pry hub and bearing from knuckle.
  5. Tighten stub shaft nut, lower vehicle and with brakes applied, torque stub shaft nut to 70 - 90 ft. lbs.

Replace the hub assembly which can be bought for $58 to $100 from various sources.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
  1. Raise and safely support the vehicle.

  5. Remove the brake caliper, support and the rotor.
  6. Using the front hub spindle remover tool, separate the halfshaft from the hub.

NOTE: If the speed sensor bracket is removed or loosened from the steering knuckle, the speed sensor gap must be adjusted. If the speed sensor is removed from the bracket, speed sensor wax must be applied to the sensor before it is reinstalled in the bracket. Failure to apply the wax will permit corrosion and may result in sensor failure.

Replace front u joints

I had to remove the R/F hub assembly to replace the U-Joints -It requires a lot of force on the hub assembly generally requiring replacement of the hub assembly if it does not want to cooperate. So be prepared to replace it if necessary.

I had to purchase a large hub puller from Snap-on tools-it bolts up to the hub and the shaft is driven in at the axle shaft it was effective after a lot of pounding and heating. Which resulted (as I stated above )
with replacement of the hub assembly.
