rear wheel bearings
Hi
I'm about to change my rear wheel bearings and have a couple of questions for the experts: 1) Are these a 1 or 2 piece (inner and an outer) type of bearing? 2) Do I need a press to remove them? 3) Is there an upgrade bearing that fits ? I seem to remember something about a tapered WRX roller one being used with little difficulty. Thanks for the input!!!! Hotshoe |
Hey hotshoe,
its one bearing. But you need an inner and an outter seal. The bearing needs to be repacked with better grease. You might as well purchase a new wheel bearing housing to prevent any future cases of the problem. |
What's a wheel bearing housing? Why would he need one, if there were such a thing?
Hotshoe: Do a search and find volumes of info regarding the procedure. Yes, you do need a press of some sort. Some have bought a 'Hub Tamer', a tool specifically designed to do the job (about $250) others just trot the ass'y. down to the machine shop and have themm press the old out and the new back in. |
