Speaking of which how hard is it/what are the steps at changing them.
It removes like any other unit bearing, pretty easy job. Interesting though that the FSM says you have to knock loose the tre and balljoint to get at the bolts. I've not had to do that on other vehicles.

Raise and support the vehicle.
2.Remove the wheel and tire assembly.
3.Remove the brake caliper and rotor (Refer to 05 - Brakes/Hydraulic/Mechanical/ROTOR, Brake - Removal) .
4.Remove the ABS wheel speed sensor if equipped, (Refer to 05 - Brakes/Electrical/SENSOR, Wheel Speed - Removal) .
5.Remove the halfshaft nut.



NOTE: Do not strike the knuckle with a hammer to remove the tie rod end or the ball joint. Damage to the steering knuckle will occur.

6.Remove the tie rod end nut and separate the tie rod from the knuckle using Ball Joint Remover 9360.
7.Remove the upper ball joint nut and separate the upper ball joint from the knuckle using Ball Joint Remover 9360.




8.Pull down on the steering knuckle to separate the halfshaft (2) from the hub/bearing.
9.Remove the three hub/bearing mounting bolts (1) from the steering knuckle.
10.Slide the hub/bearing out of the steering knuckle.
11.Remove the brake dust shield.
