I did this a few months back. Do you track it? If so, I suggest that if you do decide to do it, upgrade the OEM lugs to a nice set of ARPs... 100+Kpsi lugs. Might as well since you have the hub out.

Without any instructions but the torque specs, I think it took me about 45 minutes per wheel just to free the hub. The nasty part was whacking out the old lugs and pressing in the ARPs.

Don't try unless you have a nice bench/vice set up. OEM replacement will be much easier than ARPS.

Also the 1 hour delay... a run to Pep Boys to buy a 34MM Axle Nut Socket. Figure on taking an entire afternoon to do both wheels, all lugs. I seem to remember there being some TORX bolts that are a little nasty to get at, but nothing hard... Forget the size.

If you have the tools, it's an easy driveway job.

Good Luck...
