K i just did mine tonight in about 2 hours one side but few screw ups like forgeting to put the washer on the axel so had to remove all again to put it in place. Just droped the upper ball joint like said in previous post. Changed all three bearings for 68$ tax in. Gonna go get the bearings for the other side also And do it.

I imagine that you guys have done wheel bearings in the past.
Just wanted to add that after doing wheel bearings I like to push and pull on the top of the tire every couple days to check for any kind of play and tighten as needed.
This may be unneeded info, but I thought I would throw it out there.
