2000 front wheel bearing
So I buy the Haynes manual, and it says"due to the complexity and special tools required, this is best left to a professional mechanic".
what is that all about??? anyhow..the HMaservice website is pathetic at best, and doesnt work half the time.
so does anyone have a step by step and diagram for this procedure, and on a 2000 elantra.
I have the bearing, and am planning on tackling this job on Friday. But don't really just want to figure it out as i go..I have a buddy that owns a machine shop, so the pressing on of the new bearing isnt a problem.
thanks guys

1.Remove the snap ring.
2.Install the special tools as illustrated.
3.Secure the knuckle in a vise.
4.Tighten the nut of the special tool and remove the front hub from the knuckle.
When removing wheel hub or wheel bearing from knuckle, replace wheel bearing assembly (outer race, inner races and grease seals) with a new one.
5.Remove the wheel bearing inner race (outside) from the front hub by using the special tool.
When removing the inner race (outside) from the hub, be careful not to drop the hub.
6.Install the inner race (outside) that was removed from the hub to the wheel bearing, and then use the special tool to remove the wheel bearing.
7.Fill the wheel bearing with multipurpose grease.
8.Apply a thin coating of multipurpose grease to the knuckle and bearing contact surfaces.

14.Rotate the hub to seat the bearing.
15.Measure the hub bearing starting torque.
16.If the starting torque is 0 Nm (0 lb.in), measure the hub bearing axial play.
