Do I really need special tool front hub nut wrench J–36827?

Re: Front disc-brake rotor removal
Yes, or something that approximates it. I had to get a "car smart" friend to help me remove my hub assembly to replace the front rotors on my 2001 rodeo. I think we borrowed a tool from a parts store or something. Stupid design...

Re: Front disc-brake rotor removal
Yeah, seems it's best to have the tool.
I've seen a few vids where people were able to get the hub nut off using other tools, which I could definitely do as well, but when reinstalling it and setting it correctly concerning the pounds of force required to move the tire, I want to be sure that the force is evenly applied to the bearing. Thanks. |

Re: Front disc-brake rotor removal
OK. I have the hub nut tool.
They run the gamut in price. Ordered it for around $50.00 on a few sites only to have the order cancelled due to non-availability. A local tool guy found it but wanted $140.00 I got it from a specialty tool site for $40.00. I'm ready to do the bearings now. Do I need any special tools to get them out of the wheel or to press them back in with? I see that the manual lists a few more "special tools" but I'm not sure they're really necessary. Anyone? Thanks, Mark HB, Ca |
