Do the wheel bearings since you are just about there.
Re-boot the inner since you are doing the outter - about $10 more and 15 min of work.
Hit the ball joint/ hub connection and the tie rod ends w/ PBR blaster (or eq) when you start.
Don't forget to shim the upper control arm before you jack the car up.
With the ball joints. All you have to do to get them off the hub is back the nuts off until they have 3-4 threads on. Then a few wachs with a hammer. Remove the nut and you are done. You'll dent the nut so get a new one (which you should do anyway).
If the tie rod end is being nasty - jack up the bub, cut a piece of 4x4 to fit between the ground and the bottom of the tie rod end (i.e the bolt end w/ threads), lower the hub so the bolt rests ont eh 4x4 and give the hub a wack by the tie rod end. This works for the stubborn ones.
You don't need to remove the ngine to do the upper control arm bushings. Look at the old posts or e-mail me.
You'll need a pressor a big vise to press in the bushings.
The torques specs are sometimes hard to find, but someone has a nice faq somewhere - sorry but I can't remember where.
.....
I wouldn't bother w/ the cross drilled - but it's preference. Balbo or brembo rotors are fine. Spemd the money on some paragon SS lines instead.
Again - just preference.
Good Luck!!
Carl
