Changing wheel bearing

[Mytrn2brn]

Ok so i'm change the front passenger side wheel bearing on my 95 GSX. Anyone know what size the to lower ball joint nuts are? Dumb question, i know, but my manual doesn't say, nor the forums and the biggest wrench i have is a 19mm and it doesn't fit, so i have to go buy a wrench.

Thanks

I got a puller. But i have to separate the ball joint so i can get enough space to get the hub bolt off. any idea on the size of the ball joint nuts?

Thanks

It's 22mm but why remove any ball joints when you don't have to (see http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/new...heel-hub-bearing-removal.html#post151512403)? Also you may need a puller but not a press since the 2g bearing is all one unit.

Thanks, but the thing is Im not trying to remove the axle just the hub and my issue is that I don't have enough clearance to get the hub bolts out. However it does seem like you shouldn't have to undo the ball joints or the tie rod to get to the hub bolts. Shouldn't the axle be able to up back into the tranny just enough to remove the hub bolts.

Thanks

My bad was thinking 1g

Ok guys I got all the hub bolts out without separating the ball joints, and i have my puller in place. So my dumb question this time is, does the brake dust shield hold the hub on in any way?

Ok forget the last question. I got the hub out of the spindle but its still holding on to the axle itself. I broken a bolt on my puller so Got run to the hardware store. I think I'm in the home stretch.
