Hub bearings?

[bertrenolds5]

I get it now, the inner race that is on the hub is part of the entire wheel bearing and the other half of it is still pressed into the knuckle. Maybe if I had a new wheel bearing infront of me I would have realized that. Thanks for setting the noob straight! Does the knuckle dust seal have to be pressed out? And the chilton's says to remove the snap ring from the axel side of the knuckle, is it under the dust seal?



This is waist deep at Vail, my favorite place in colorado. I've never been in anything like it besides 3 feet a steamboat crawling through the snow in the flats cuz steam boat is flat everywhere.

I'm proud to say I will be a colorado resident again this winter working at keystone! I can get some more waist deep pow before it's all gone due to global warming

you should be able to pry the dust seals off with a screw driver or a small pry bar. and front wheel bearings are usually one sealed unit. you usually press the hub out of the bearing so and then the bearing out of the hub. so it doesn't bust apart like that but it's not a big deal. just have the race pressed off of the hub then remove the snapring and have the bearing pressed out of the knuckle. and then have the new bearing pressed back in then have the hub pressed in

When I used the slide hammer on the hub the inner race came off with the hub. I was going to rent a bearing press kit from autozone and press the bearings myself, shoulden't be to hard. But the hub to knuckle looks like their is a bolt and nut that you tighten the 2 together with but I'm not sure if I can rent it so I might need to find someone to press them togehter for me..

on my car there is no bolt that holds the hub to the knuckle. my car is awd but that shouldn't matter most fwd cars the just presses into the bearing
