yes. You have to press the hubs apart. Better then me explain this go buy a haynes manual it will make both of our lifes easier! -
The manual I have only talks abou the rear...Im still reading it but all Ive found is a list of tools needed to do the front.
Those who think drifting through life is easy, never tried it in an FWD.Comment

Acctually it isn't to bad of a job, for the mechanicly inclined. In other words if this post makes no sense what so ever take it to a garage. Remove 2 strut bolts, lower ball joint pinch bolt, tie rod end nut, center stake nut. Seperate tie rod end and ball joint, pull out of strut mounting bracket, then pull hub straight out. press the spindle and hub apart and take out four bolts holding rotor on. put new rotor and bearings in, and put 4 bolts back in and press back together. then reassemble the rest. take and have it alligned when done so tires don't wear wrong. When replacing the bearings mise well do the rotor as well cause if it wears out later down the road u will need to buy bearings again. Best to replace every thing at once. There are plan floating around for a bearing removal tool for the front. I have these that I am going to make into a pdf for the website. Or you can use a vise a bar and a hammer and pound it apart or a press.Comment
