5 lug swap question

[coyotes]

Ok so I will be swapping to 5 lug. I want to do the wheel bearings while I'm in there, but I have a question. I see an inner and an outer wheel bearing available to buy, are there two wheel bearings to replace on some corners? Also two wheel bearing seals? What should I buy to do my 5 lug swap?

Thanks

Inner and outer seals are necessary for the front. I think there's just one pressed in bearing.

Thats what I thought also, but I have seen "inner" and "outer" wheel bearings at parts stores. Just making sure, I don't want to order unnecessary parts.

I'm almost positive there is an inner and an outer bearing on the rear. Definitely only one in the front

I will be doing my 5 lug swap on #271 tomorrow. This might help... click

Correct.

For the front you will remove the hub, pull the inner seal off, press the spindle out of the hub, remove 1 large bearing from the spindle along with the outer seal.
So you need an inner and outer seal for each front wheel and one bearing for each side Koyo bearings would be the OEM replacement.

In the rear you will unbolt the axel from the hub, remove the large nut from the spindle shaft, pull the shaft out and remove two bearings and an outer seal per side.

The only other things to think about while doing that job are brakes and dust shields if they are rotted away.
