Strut bearing replacement



I'll be doing this this week. How do I mark the camber
bolts so I don't mess with the alignment? Do i have to
remove the strut assembly to have access to the strut
bearing?

Do these steps look ok? i got them off the web:

1. Jack up and remove the front wheel.
2. Undo the brake hose from the strut.
3. Remove the two bolts (19mm) on the bottom of the
strut.
4. As you support the strut with one hand, remove the
top nut (22mm), this will
release the strut assembly. You might have to use a
screwdriver to separate the
strut housing from the wheel bearing housing.
5. Compress the spring and remove the special
retaining nut, there is a special
tool, I used my needlenose pliers.
6. Replace the strut bearing, the retaining nut.
7. Re-install the assembly; support the strut in the
tower, place the special
washer and get the 22mm nut started.
8. Replace the 2 19mm bolts,
9. Remount the brake hose.
10. Replace the wheel and lower, then crank down the
22mm strut nut.
