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
