Guest EGOXRT Guests Posted 05/01/09 09:05 AM Share Posted 05/01/09 09:05 AM Just did a set on EXRSIK ( straughsberry's car) today. You will need a 36mm socket, long breaker bar, a chisel and hammer. The inner race stays behind and you will need to split it with a chisel, this is the only pain. They are about $140 a side for the SKF brand or go to Ford, they are a bit cheaper.
