So since there is no how to on this i figure'd id document how and what I'm doing. It's pretty straight forward just need some tooling. My dad has a bunch of crap in the garage that we're using, Including a bunch of pipe diameters like just smaller that the bearing, same size as the bearing, just larger than the bearing. Also a couple pieces of steel along with a couple 1/2 in bolts that will be used to pull the old/press in the new bearing. So far i have the wheel removed (19 mm), caliper bolts removed (7/8), caliper hanging, 6 bolts off both ends of the half shaft (8 mm allen), half shaft off, removed the nut holding the rear end of the stub on(32mm, shaved OD of the socket), pulled the rear half od the stub off.
I'm done for the night bc USC OSU is on, but I'll try n finish up before noon tomorrow. I spent actually ~1 hr of work, most of the time spent going to the store to get the socket, and other hardware, and shaving the OD of the socket. once I hit the stub out from under the car, i'll pull/press bearings and reinstall. Shouldn't be too bad once I get everything out, we'll see how motivated I am. I plan on doing an actual write up once I'm done, any questions suggestions feel free to ask. I self-diagnosed this issue so I am pretty sure this will fix the noise I heard which sounded like a low pitch hum only when weight was on the passenger side. I cannot wait for this to be normal it'll be back to tip top shape! gnight
