wheel hub ques

[95BlackZ26]

has anyone ever changed a hub assembly off a beretta or similar car and if so how difficult was is

Done it twice... I even had a write up on it once. Not sure where it ended up though.... Its really not that difficult. The hardest part is seperating the hub from the strut assembly.

Here are some pics from the first time I did it:

Unfortunately, there aren't any pictures with the old hub off. Seperating it from the strut assembly pissed me off enough that I basically forgot to take pictures. One recommendation: get a hub socket. I want to say its a 30mm socket, but I could be wrong. I just know that I got a GM hub socket from Sears and it worked great.

its not hard unless you are replacing studs
now that can be a bitch

I had the hubs off of my car... and they were relatively easy to get off. However W-bodies are quite a bit different than... uh... whatever body Berettas are... N? Dunno. Takes a lot of pounding. Putting back together is a breeze, I just used some anti-seeze on the half-shaft splines.

yeah berettas are L bodies

ok i got the socket for the axle nut but what i need to know what type and size is the nuts that hold the wheel hub to the steering knuckle thing that has the strut on it

Its a Torx bit... I want to say like a T45 or something.
