How hard is it to reblace the front wheel hub/bearing assembly. I have replaced about everything else in the fron suspension this and strut bearings and Im done for awhile. Any special tools besides a 2 jaw puller and hub socket?

Remove the caliper and hang it with a piece of wire. Remove the hub cap grease seal and then the hub retaining nut. Sometimes you don't even need a puller to remove the hub from the spindle. When replacing the hub remember to install a NEW hub retainer nut and torque to 188-254 lb-ft. Ford also recommends to replace the hub cap grease seal.
