RTC3429 x4 hub bearing
FRC8700 x4 stub axle lock nut If you use the hub nut socket you shouldn't need to replace these unless they are damaged
FTC5414 x2 hub cap I have had the same ones for 3 bearing changes several adjustments in 6 years now so unless they are damaged just clean them up and put them back on
606435 x1 hub spanner These are gold, I use the Nissan/Toyota deep socket type which isn't quite right but works fine.
FRC8002 x4 lock washer If your only doing the front then you would only need 2 if the ones on it are cracked, if they are OK then flatten them out and refit them.

It's just my opinion from only my personal experience but I'm not a fan of oil filled front hubs.

My mechanic did mine when I got all the front end rebuilt shortly after getting my 97 disco and it chewed out the bearings in less than 12 months and cost me 2 stub axles and a hub as well.

Since then Ive changed jobs and I have more time now to do more of the work myself so I don't use him much anymore.

The third bearing change was when I did Disc rotors and changed the bearings as par the course as they were 4 years old and seems I had them apart I thought I may as well replace them.

In my opinion, set it up the same as factory and they last for years.
