Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
I know it says the front wheel bearings are non-serviceable. False. You can grease them. Should You? That's all up to You. I think front wheel bearings can last 100,000 to 300,000 miles. Maybe as far as 500,000 miles. The bearings themselves are very strong and should last to a million, the bearings are not the problem, the ability to keep and hold grease is the problem most of the time. They don't have the best seals. And if You drive in deep enough water, Yes even water can get in and they won't last long after that. Often when the bearing gets completly dry you can hear it, but then it's already to late, because the wear started before You heard the dry bearing. Bearings cost alot, a tow truck, and the shop that replaces them? $500-$800? I prefer to keep mine greased. A new truck, I grease them before 100,000 and thenafter once a year. After 500,000 twice a year, early spring and late fall, hopefully I can get to a million. That is my goal. I did it once with an 03. One bearing made it to a million the other one didn't.
Following are some steps and some pics. It takes about an hour each.

spreading the brake shoes before I take off the brake callipers

brake calliper resting on a 5 gallon bucket. DO not disconnect any brake lines

removing the wheel spacer and rotor with 22mm wrench. I use an impact hammer like you see there, and hit the end of the wrench to take them off and put them on. Those bolts are the same as the wheel lugs so make them tight. Like 140 ft. lbs. of torque

remove the speed sencer with allen wrench.

That sirenge I got at walmart, is what the women use to inject flavor into turkeys. Turning the wheel as I inject it. You can feel when it's full.

The size of the 2 brake calliper bolts. They are very big and will need to be torqued as tight as when You took them off. I don't know what the correct torque is but I use a cheater bat on my 2 ft 1/2 in drive to tighten them. It's unlikely that you are going to over torque them and break them.
#ad
a coating of grease or anti sezzzzzz on all mating parts so that next year everything will not be rusted together.

and last but not least now would be a good time to put a drop of oil on the 2 pc. lug nuts before you torque them down to 140 ft. lbs.
