Alt bearings - '88 90 Q

[Konstantin Bogach]

It took me about 2 hours (mayb 3) to replace bearings Just becaue I did it first time.  With right bearing puller I did not have any trouble to remove old bearings.
You will need a puller like this: http://www.jcwhitney.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=624&catalogId=10101&langId=-1&storeId=10101
Front bearing made by Nachi: 6303-2NSE

Cheers,
Konstantin.
