My Shop used National Wheel bearings, Only had them a few weeks, but they're wonderful thus far.

whats that mean press fitted onto axle i didnt see anyone say that does that mean the how to on here wont work for me?

the how to will work. you'll see what it means. its just fitting around the axel.... but it still comes out.

the hard part is (being in WNY) the bolts will probably be super rusted. be ready for a fight.

it's easy as pie! and my stock nut was a 35 mm i think... but the new nut that comes with it is closer to a 36...

Use copious amount of PB Blaster on the hub bolts. Mine were seized so hard they rounded off even with the PB. MN and ND winters for ya. I had to pound a 1/2" socket on them so tight i had to throw it away when I was done. They came out then.

so that was so easy its not funny i did both front with the skf not bad. 2 hours both sides done not bad for first time. so i have a question my passager side seems to be grinding when i apply the brake pedal its not real bad but these are new brakes i must have done something idk what i could have done though i hung the caliper i made sure to brake before i drove to get the piston pushed back in so idk what could have happened?

cherrington17 · 03-16-2010, 11:05 PM

Told ya it was easy. If the bolts come out, its cake.

might just be breaking in the new ones. grinding noise, or grinding feeling?

irondiezl3 · 03-16-2010, 11:26 PM

just noise just passanger side well they were new last month sorry i should of been more specific yea i had a harder time changing pads out then changing these bearings but ive heard horror stories for me a few taps of a hammer and they poped right out! yea so the gringing is about 90 percent noise 10 percent feel only when pedal is being presses and it slows down with the wheel slowing down.

i'd disassemble it all, see if the sliders are working, lube it all up, be sure your anti-rattle clip is in place... etc.

its possible on reassembly, you over looked something.

irondiezl3 · 03-16-2010, 11:50 PM

i bet its the anti rattle clip is it hars to replace the slider pins i was thinking about replacing and lubing

Gr1m · 03-16-2010, 11:57 PM

just to comment, i have a 36mm socket and it works aswell, just has a little play in it but works and doesnt round off anything

sliders just pull out, and push in. (pull out, grease, push in) and the anti rattle just pops outta place, and clips back in. really easy.

My old hub was so frozen in there, that after using the hub puller it ripped the bearing in two, still leaving 1/2 of the bearing on the axle. Had to take a chisel to the back of it to get it out.

irondiezl3 · 03-17-2010, 09:52 PM

wow am i lucky mine came out when i loosened the three bolts off the knuckle almost on their own especially passanger side but the were shot when i spun them it sounded like a screaching cat.

irondiezl3 · 03-19-2010, 09:57 PM
