Im gonna buy some plugs tomorrow. Any one have and sugestions on what brand? Also anyone ever installled a front wheel bearing hub assembally? hard/easy? How much time?
You really should pick up a generic service manual for that front wheel bearing. It'll help alot. Torque specs are in Techinfo, Specifications.
The manual should run you no more than $15. Chilton'* is first choice (#28200) Haynes is second, Clymer third, but all three will get you through this no problem.

For the plugs I would say go with either AC Delco Platinum or NGK TR55 V-Power. Wires... Stock would be fine... As for the wheel bearing do what Will said and go buy a manual.

well it was a good attept by me and my buddie jon. we tried for 2 hours to try to get my roter off. it is rusted on. any sugestions? i tried everything.
Do ya have the caliper off? I had two little one time slip-on washers on the lug studs, they come off with pliers. If that'* not it, get some WD-40 on there, and try to lightly tap ti off with a hammer, but don't hit the actual rotor surface, use an old brake pad.
