When I do wheel bearing changes I send a lot of time packing them properly,then take a short drive and you usually find them loose so retention and this method will last for the life of the bearings . |

Whenever I have to replace the hub / rotor.
So, once in 18 years of ownership. Zach |

I over maintain
And I really don’t want a break down on a road trip My front Bearings are probably 25 years old. But still good, I had them out for repacking a few months ago And do this regularly…. About every 4 years on the street car. Every other year on the race car |
