How do I and is it worth my time to replace the front wheel bearings myself? I'm assuming that all i need is the correct socket to remove the nut holding the hub on and then some sort of puller to remove the hub? Not sure on how to remove the bearing? Would appreciate any info on how to properly replace the bearing?
