yeah, i've had my derilin bushings sitting in the box for the last 2 months b/c i dont have to tools to change this crap out, and i know my mechanic will charge over $200 to do it, so i'd rather save the money and do it myself.
question: how do i torque the hub bolt back down to 490 ft-lbs? how do you measure that, my wrench only goes to 150 lol

if it's say 400 ft-lbs, you can take a rachet, and use a pipe, the measure the distance from the pivot to your weight, and multiply your weight accordingly... say if you weigh 200lbs, and hang off the pipe, you can go 2 feet out to obtain 400 ft-lbs. get it?

yeah, i get it, ghetto, but i guess that will have to work
and after looking at mazdatrix's writeup, it doesn't look too bad. although i dont really want to cut off my dust shield, and i dont want to have to pull off the hub
any suggestions?

i dont see why its ghetto either. Its a good way to measure it when you have no other means. And at that level it does not have to be exactly on the mark.
