Installed new front wheel bearings last year,and checked them and there shot???.
Im talking couple hundred miles. Why driving down the highway had a low pitched howling. Started checked the rotors by touching them and 1 was really really hot,let it cool down and drove home. Pulled the wheel and saw the bearing was shot,and had marks on it where the spacer between the bearing and the lock nut was rubbing on it. So I ordered my new bearing set etc and waiting to install,but I cant find a decent write up on how to do it properly. Since I have no picture of how the wheel bearing assembly looks like,I am installing it the same way it is on my wheel,but even that could be wrong. I have installed new rotors,pads etc and spline or hub has no marks etc. So I need to know the order of how the parts are assembled,and whether or not the big seal that comes with it goes on front or back of bearing.Any help would be appreciated,especially a diagram. Sorry for the long winded post just tring to explain my problem in laymans term. Thanks Grant |
