Do I need any special tools to install this?

A socket set, torque wrench, and jack with jack stands cover the job. No bearing press or special pullers required—the hub comes fully assembled. Refer to your vehicle's service manual for correct torque specifications on mounting bolts.

Will this fit both sides, or do I need two?

One kit covers one side. If you're doing both rear wheels, order two. Many shops replace them in pairs to keep suspension geometry balanced.

What condition is this in—new or remanufactured?

This is a new assembly. It ships clean and ready to install without any prep or cleaning needed.
