I personally think it's easier just to replace the hub, they're not to expensive on eBay. These are what I bought nothing fancy eBay Hubskdannyk said:My driver side front wheel bear is shot. I'm wondering if any one here has replace them and how hard is it to do. I have not found any write ups on. Is there any harm in driving with bad wheel bearing?
I always hear good stories about Timken. I bought a set of SKF bearings. Since my wife works there, she got them for me at cost. $74 a piece! I don't trust the off brands from the Pacific rim.Mooseman said:I would not recommend unknown brand eBay hubs (aka Cheap Chinese Crud) unless you swap them on a regular basis due to off-road abuse. Timken is a proven brand. ACDelco and SKF are overpriced, Moog has started making hubs but have not heard anything about them. Never EVER buy Raybestos hubs! They will instantly self destruct within a month just like the video above. This is from personal experience.
