What's the most that you have done as far as repairs?

If thats the only thing you've done be prepared to take at least 3-4 hours to do the job. You're also going to need an impact wrench or an extremely large breaker bar and a lot of power to break the axle nut loose. It can be very stressful when the inner ring will not pop loose but if you use a pry bar and use moderate force it will come out. Also, make sure you get the OEM outer shaft seal.
