Thanks for the walkthrough. It helped a lot and the slide hammer is needed. I ran into some problems though after doing both front hub assemblys. I did the driver side thinking that was the bad side but after a test drive the problem wasn't fixed so i ordered another hub assembly and installed it on the passenger side. That fixed the humming problem but now i have the "dead" spot in the center of the steering that some suffer from on here but it is accompained by a shudder and suspension/steering rattle. When initiating a turn it shudders but when you get into the turn it stops. I have gone over the entire front end with a buddy checking all of the bolts that were taken off, tie rod ends, ball joints etc. and nothing looks or seems bad. The hubs are seated flush on the steering knuckle. Any help is greatly appreciated. I started a thread on it.
