    Thanks for the video. Just did my driver's front bearing on my 2WD. I couldn't fit my impact behind the hub, but maybe I didn't turn the wheel enough. It was easier than I thought to use a breaker bar on the hub bolts and caliper torque member bolts. Got the speed sensor clip off with a small needle nose squeezing from the very top. To bust the hub loose I hammered from behind the hub on the rear side (caliper side) of the control arms, but the other side is blocked by the dust plate. I ended up hammering on a 6" or 9" extension against the back of the hub through the sensor cable hole of the dust plate to get it loosen up.

    As a DIY'er I too have spent longer on connectors than the main job on various repairs. It can be incredibly frustrating. I think there should be a web site devoted to how to undo all the different kinds of connectors on different brands of vehicles. It could be a wiki, where everyone contributes. I think that web site would have tons of traffic if word got out that it existed!

      Had a similar issue on mine; noisy as anything, but no play, and no noise with the car in the air and no load on the bearing. A set of chassis ears clipped on each bearing carrier and a quick test drive soon pinpointed the culprit. When stripping the bearing down, there were two massive divots in the ballrace. Probably thanks to all them winter potholes.
