Thanks eveyone, I guess I will tackle this job myself. I saw a write up from a guy that made himself a tool to remove the wheel and the Hub, not as a whole unit but seperatly. I will replace the brake pad at the same time and check the brake disk, my galiper look ok but I might change it too, it is a 2003 and maybe time to replace it.
I just wonder what is the torque or adjustment for the bearings?
This job is not difficult, but does require a wrench to fit the axle nut, they are special sized and not found in a socket set. plus you will need a new locking key to replace the old one that gets bent to lock the axle nut in place. The torque on the axle nut is " spin the wheel, tighten until all freeplay is gone, and back off to the nearest place to key.
This is a prime time to up grade to the new hub oil. and do not over fill.
