My right rear bearing is making noises. I called my mechanic and he said to get parts and he would install it.
I am looking at the exploded view of rear axle. (See below) When I order parts, do I just need the Bearing #28? Is there a race for the control arm because I don't see one? Does he need to remove CV axle and tap out the bearing from the inside? Thank you in advance for your help. Attached thumbnail(s)

I had no luck getting a bearing out recently - tried various versions of the homemade bearing pullers, tried a BFH, tried even a bigger BFH, still no joy, cried uncle and took the trailing arm to the shop and let them press it out.
If you are installing the hub vice your mechanic, don't forget to install the bearing cap (retainer) before installing the hub - failure to do so will result in stream of profanity and likely a ruined bearing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |
