To replace a front and rear wheel bearing on a 95 park ave? I only have the one car and don't want to get so far and find out I need a tool I don't have with the car in pieces.

Oh and I need the torque specs as well

thanks!!

Click Here (http://www.autozone.com/az/cds/en_us/0900823d/80/15/ee/f4/0900823d8015eef4/repairInfoPages.htm) for some instructions. This is not vehicle specific for the PA; however, the LeSabre procedure and specs are the same. You will need a 35 or 36 mm socket for the axle nut & a 3/8” drive, male 3/8” Allen-head (socket) for the caliper bolts. If you don’t have an impact, insert a drift punch into the rotor between the rotor cooling fins & caliper to keep the rotor from rotating while using a long pull bar & standing on it to loosen the axel nut. A few other tools required are; a simple metric socket set for the hub bolts and a torque wrench for the final torque of the axle nut. Follow the hub manufactures torque specs on the axle nut and Do Not install the nut with an impact. Tighten firm with ½ ratchet first, then use the torque wrench. Follow the standard crisscross pattern when installing wheel lug nuts to 100 ft lbs.
