Make sure to buy all the special tools required for wheel bearings.

- Hub splitter
- Bearing Puller tool
- Bearing pusher tool
- Have an impact for that axle nut after you unstake
- snap ring pliers
- You don't have to disconnect the knuckle unless yours is so rusty you need a press. Get the gearwrench ball joint separator for tierod/wishbone and a 2 jaw gear puller to remove the rear control arm. This is way better than smacking on the knuckle and risk damaging something else
- Use a punch + pb blaster to remove the axle from the hub. Don't hit too hard as you could damage your differential when the force of the blow is transferred. Lot's of small taps should do the trick.
- Disconnect the sensors from the knuckles so you don't break them
