2007 Sebring Wheel Bearing Replacement Questions

[lastxit]

Hi Everyone, I'm hoping someone can give me some pointers and tools required to complete a replacement of a front wheel bearing on my Sebring. 2007 Sebring Limited 3.5L I do most of my own work and this shouldn't be too much of an issue for me, however I've never done a wheel bearing on this make/model before. Since this is my only source of transportation, I'd like to make sure I have everything I need before pulling anything off just to find out I need something I don't have in my toolbox. My questions are - 1. What are the tools required beyond the lugs and calipers? 2. I dont' have any impact tools, so I'm hoping to can get the main spindle nut off without one. What size socket is required for this? 3. Other sizes of sockets or Torx needed? 4. I plan to get the MOOG bearing from a local shop. Will this present a problem for the OEM bearing on the other side? 5. Will this knock my alignment out after the change? I just had the alignment done. The original toe was -0.15 moved back to 0.00, but the camber went from 3.3 to 4.1. (just out of spec - 2.0 to 4.0) I'd like to have everything before I begin. Also, any tips anyone wishes to add is greatly appreciated! Thank you.

I had to change hub in my 2002 Sebring sedan, but I don't know what it is in 2007.

Actually, it was quite easy.

The only issue I ran into was having to hold the CV shaft in so I could get to the 4 bolts on the back. The CV boot was in the way just enough to make it a pita to get the socket on the bolt. I first used a small 3/8 breaker just to loosen them up so I could ratchet them out easier. Then went back to the breaker to snug them down after I put the new part on.

The 32MM hub nut wasn't bad either. My 1/2 breaker with a rental socket set from Advanced Auto took care of that.

Car is quiet as a church mouse now.

Thanks for the views.
