    excellent write-up.

    managed to replace both hubs and both half-shafts thanks to this thread and one other thread on grandprixforums.net. both hubs were getting a little loose, but only one shaft was having problems (driver's side). I replaced both because they were the originals and I figured while I had all the tools out and evrerything torn apart I'd just replace both sides.

    bought the shafts and hubs from RockAuto. bought 6 new hub bolts from a local dealership, and yeah, they were about $4 *PER BOLT*

    my driver side front pulled the same deal. i had to beat the hub out of the knuckle then those other parts were still in the knuckle, i was like wtf? so i got a fat punch and a baby sledge and just pounded the last parts out. came out rather easy too.
