driving very slow like fast food drive thru slow. is it easy to repack and/or replace the bearing or do i need any special tools. theyre sealed bearings - you have to replace them. cost is between $200 and $300. youll need a large 3/4 drive - somewhere around 1-11/16 socket for the axle nut and a 12-point 14mm socket for the hub bolts. a hub puller is nice to have but not a necessity. when you go to get the bearing you can get this at a parts store like napa autozone etc. theyll need to know if you have 4-wheel abs or not. .

hi edward you might also check the wear tab or the front rotors. specially if you havent put brakes on the front yet. cc .
