When I installed my rear hubs, there is a small wobble on one side. Is it ok to remove and reinstall the hub with the current bearing or do I need a new bearing? Obviously if the outer race comes out, they are trashed however if it doesn't, can I reuse it?

Is the hub wobbling after torquing the axle nut? It will likely wobble (have play in it) until torqued. If it's wobbling after the axle nut has been torqued, I'm not sure what pulling the hub and re-installing it will do.

But yes, I have successfully pulled and a hub and re-installed w/o damaging the bearing.

Mine had a wobble before the stub axles were tightened down.

You should be fine.

What they said except, I'd never really want to reuse a bearing that I pulled a hub out of. IMO split ring bearings should never be reused.

IMO that 's right
