Did it this weekend. Total time was less than an hour. Toughest part was removing a frozen caliper basket bolt. Broke a Craftsman socket trying to get it out. Finally just cut the head off and it came out by hand.
Inner race didn't come out with the outer, so had to work it out with a gear puller. Once that was done, I gently tapped the new bearing assembly on using a socket on the inner race and a hammer. As soon as I could get threads I used the nut and a hand ratchet to get it back on.
For the final torque I used the IR Thundergun ;-). Call it cheating, I call it brains over brawn (and a great GF that gave it to me for Xmas).
So far it works great!
