My son did mine on a 97 driver side at 150K. It was real simple, took him 10 minutes to get it off and 13 minutes to replace and put his tools back. He did have a air wrench. Just need a socket to fit the axle, and it 's 3 or 4 bolts on the inside and you are done. My rider side went out at 200K it now has 214K and now need a fan blower .

I recently did mine. It was one of the easiest ones I have ever done. It really is as simple as popping the old bearing out, and the new bearing in.

it appears after takin it all apart that the wheel bearing and hub assembly is one big unit and you have to replace all of it i dont if it is due to automatic locking hubs or what but the bearins and hub is all together. and it only has 2 wheel anti lock brakes
