Quick question on rear wheel bearings

[LordAthey]

I went to get new tires on my galant the other day and the day putting them on said that I have play in both of my rear bearings. Do I believe the guy possibly. I figured I should get it done something in the new future. I have done the front wheel bearings before I just want to know if the back are the same as the front? If someone could also hook me up with the part number for this so I know I'm getting the right part that would be awesome.

Thanks,

Scott

The rears are actually 2 sealed bearings. They are much easier to change out than the fronts, IMO.

Thanks Terry that has helped me out a bunch!!

 

I have recently done this,

Tip: Once you are installing your rear hubs back in and notice rotating the hub is a bit tight. Smack it with a hammer on the outside, this will seat the bearings. If you have any questions, i normally check gvr4.org multiple times a day so, shoot me a PM if you have any questions.

I got my bearings from rock auto and picked them by choosing "rear inner, rear outer" Don't forget to grab and seal also.

pressing them on:

Always press on the friction side of a bearing race. The rears, you press the inner race. The fronts, you press the outer race. (meant for readers thinking about doing this)

Edit: I prefer this how to... http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/articles-suspension-brakes/332566-1g-awd-rear-wheel-bearing-replacement.html

I pressed the dust shield and the bearing as one unit. If your dust shield is damaged it will cause fiction against your bearing so make sure its in good shape when you press it all on.

To remove the hubs, once everything is un-bolted. I used a slide hammer that worked very fast and easy.

Good information in here! I was actually going to replace the fronts and rears soon as it is starting to make a crapload of noise. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bawling.gif
