    I've been experiencing some rumbling for quite some time now and it's time to investigate and fix. I suspect it is the driver side front. The rumbling stops when turning to the right and louder when steering to the right. I haven't lifted the truck yet to spin the wheels to see if this is truly the issue. Are there any special tools needed to replace the bearing?

    If you you replace the whole hub assembly all you need is a 35mm socket and a torque wrench that can go to 175 ft/lbs.
    The 4 hub bolts are 17mm. I bought a torque adapter to torque them. But most guys don't. Good and tight with loctite is good enough.

    Other than that, just a standard metric socket and wrench set will do.
