I don't have the manual here, but I remmeber that the torque on the bearing nut is huge, about 200 ft lbs. It's in the archives I'll try to find it.

thats what put me off doing it myself.

hub nut is anticlockwise to loosen on either side.

it is an easy DIY job doing the rear (front is a bit more difficult).

you dont need mega torque, just as tight as you can with a 1/2" drive ratchet (if you're a weakling use a short bar on it)

cant remember socket size.
