Front wheel bearings
 

I am new to this forum so forgive me if this has been discussed before. I understand that the bearings are sealed and not serviceable. Is there anything regarding their replacement that is not covered in the TSRM that I should be aware of? I will also inspect the ball joints and tie rod ends while it's apart. How difficult is it to change the struts? Do I need the special tools for all this or can I buy/rent what I need locally? TIA for any advice and comments.

PS. The car is an 89 NA, 190k miles and all original front suspension

You can get the spring compressing tool at Harbor Freight for about $10. Or from some other cheap tool place. (good for the toolbox).

Today I replaced both the lower ball joints, on the car, and NOT the way the TSRM said. It was EASY.

I am going to write up the way and post in the FAQs section in a day or 2.
