I just purchased a complete spindle and hub assembly from a junk yard. the hub bearing seems to be in good condition. There is some play in it very little like a 16th of an inch at most. Is that still to much or is that the way it is suppose to be?

 

bump no one knows if that is normal or not.

 

Just a thought? I new bearing is only like 45 bucks, why would you not just spend that little bit of extra money and have a shop press out the old and in the new? you've already got the spindle out. It'll take them like 10 minutes, if that. Don't take a chance, just spend the little extra now. If you're really strapped for cash, you can cheaper ones for like $30 from the local parts houses.

 

There should be NO play.

 

can i use a puller (and a peice of wood :P) to push these back in (and take them out)? instead of going to a shop with a press.

 

I doubt that you can. I thought of that last night but after looking at it I dont think that will work. Im just gonna have my friend do it at his shop. But i would definatly have it pressed back in because its not a cheap bearing.
