The wheel berings aren't hard at all....if you are familiar with working on 4x4 hubs and berings that is. I haven't had to change ball joints in mine yet but I'm sure it's coming. Changing the front axle seal can be a pain and I have to help my son with his soon. Before winter gets here anyway. I do know most of the fron end has to come apart. The best source I've found for manuals is from e-bay. Type in Chevy LUV Shop manual in the Search and you will more than likely find them. I bought mine for under $9 if I remember correctly. Worth it's weight in gold. Of course all this depends on your own mechanical ability and confidence.
