Where can I find a good diagram of the front wheel bearings and how to replace them. I have the steering knuckle removed and the hub pressed out. I'm having a problem removing the bearing from the hub and want to know how to remove the bearing from the knuckle. Is this something I can do on my own or will I be taking it into a shop? How much should I expect someone to do the work for me?

 

It requires a special tool.
