wheel bearings

[Evan Parker]

What else do I need in doing this job?  Can I just order this set (3rd
one down)...

hicleID=1008559&CFID=506625&CFToken=10886708


And reuse all the parts on the car?

Are there any one use only parts that I'm going to need to replace?

Sincerely,
 
Evan P. Parker

The bearings HAVE to go in dry.  A bit of a discussion on this a while
back (Hi Phil) and the dire consequences of lubing the bearing should
they seize or overheat.  I changed the bearing in a hub assembly that
had been sitting out in the weather for who knows how long, Hub Shark
handled it with no problems.  Regardless of whether you use a press or
an on the car tool such as the Shark, alignment is the most important
thing, the bearing CAN NOT be cocked and must be straight.

It's so damn hot... milk was a bad choice.
