Installing new 5 lug hubs and upon removal of the old hubs the bearings stayed in place, hubs came out fairly easy really. Bearings have less than 5K miles on them and the hubs were greased a bit, so I assume that's why it came out so well.
...so, do I need to replace them as is always suggested? The inner races did slide out a touch, maybe 2mm, but slide right back into place and feel smooth. Is the fact that they moved at all mean they are trashed? Thanks for any help! |
