Front wheel bearing kit

[Bernie Benz]

John, 

I¹ll fwd my Wheel Bearing Postmortem posting of several years ago, FYI.
No need for a kit. The clips are not used in the Œ91s and no need for the
new hub bolt, IMO.  If your outer CV boots have 150K or more on them, a good
time to replace as this failure makes a real mess. Info on this also Fwded.
