Hey so I'm stuck at step one. I can't remove the hub because the hex socket screw won't budge. What should i do?

[lshobie]

@shortaznkid ok, take a hammer and tap the hex in as far as you can then slightly tighten it, then loosen it, if stil not moving then hammer on the socket a few times, it might jar the rust and corrosion. If that fails then you can try heat but I'd rather snap them off and use a pair of vice grips to remove the broken studs then you are good to go. That part can be tricky, i feel your pain.

what kind of grease did you use on the spindle? same for the hub?

[lshobie]

@shortaznkid i used a synthetic wheel bearing grease for both.

do these steps go the same for a nissan pathfinder

[lshobie]

@centralhigh09 Yes i suspect so, probably the same platform

@adamzan7 if I bought every SST for everything I do I would have about 40K in tools that I would use once, but if i had to do it often yes I would buy the SST.

Why does no one ever buy the 12 dollar socket for the bearing locknut?

@hp11208 the rear is shoes.

The rear on this is brake pads?
