Looks good Tim! The more I drive the Box, the more I'm convinced I'll be doing this next. Luckily, I just had the axles out so no sledgehammer for me. Lol. One question I have had as I look at bearings is are all 4 corners the same part numbers?

For the S model there are front & rear. Don't know about base.

There are two sizes for wheel bearings. I found this out the hard way this weekend. I bought a pair from an online discount retailer, even the local big 3 auto parts dealers all catalogs showed the same sizes. I finally called PelicanParts and they did a VIN search; found the 00-03 S models have different ones.

Good luck
