Getting ready to replace the front wheel bearrings and I'm wondering if there's anything I need to know before attempting to follow the incredibly in-depth procedure that the Hanes manual presents the reader. Keeping in mind that I've never done this before on any car.
Any tips, pics or "whatever you do, don't do this..." would be much appreciated. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) Thanks! |

It is pretty goof-proof. PVC pipe (I dunno, 2 1/2 in diameter maybe) is good to press the bearing race onto the hub.
Pelican sells a a little bearing seal thing that you could put on first, but I've never had 'em, and I don't think many folks do. Look at the new bearing carefully before you put 'em in. I had one with a flaw in a ball, caused a hard to diagnose problem I thought was tire or alignment related until it disentigrated completely. |
