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 know this is an old thread but I saw something even older on another forum that I thought might be useful. I cant take credit, the author was someone named SammyG
bearings and any other parts that are designed to have an interference fit need to be installed in one of two ways, either with a press pushing on the correct place (either inside or outside race depending on where the interference is) or you need to temporarily eliminate the interference fit with temperature diferentiation. heat the outer part and/or cool the inside part and you suddenly have clearance until the temperatures normalize. What you should have done was to put the hub in the freezer and put the bearings in the oven and heat them up to around 230 degrees F. Then carefully slide the bearings onto the hub. Then put the entire hub with bearings in the freezer (inside a plastic bag) until it is cold then carefully insert it into the control arm. No hammers allowed. |
