Hello, people. Another durn newbie, here.

Bought a 2000 Montero Sport, 3.5L, a year ago, now with 186k miles.
Seems to run great... I love it. Just got new tires all around...
Shoulda' done suspension work Before the tires, but... didn't.

The steering wheel still has a slight wobble at 35 to 45 MPH.
Took it to a shop... he said replace front wheel bearings,
and all 4 tie-rod-ends... $650 total.
I've searched... seems like I can do the tie-rod-ends...
A fairly simple operation, I think.
I just bought the 4 tie-rod-ends from Pep Boys for $114.

Also bought the 4 bearings for $65.
Cannot find much help/advice on the wheel bearings replacement.
I think there are 2 identical bearings for each front wheel... yes?
Do I need a Press to remove / install the new bearings?
Pep Boys will let me borrow the "Bearing Race and Seal Driver Set",
part #27119, fer free. Will this be sufficient?...

That "click image" thing doesn't appear to work. Here's a link to a picture of the tool...

Where can I find help on this operation?
Step-by-step instructions? / Diagrams? / Anything?

Thanks very much, in advance, for any advice you can offer.

a haynes manual will give you a blow by blow. Old brgs can normally be driven out with hammer and punch.
4x4 needs to be torqued, 2wd just seated properly.

 

Thanks for the reply, Akzle.

I shoulda' mentioned... it's only a 2wd.

OK,... I'll look up a Haynes, or similar manual.

Thanks.
