Wheel bearing bad on drivers side..help
my drivers side wheel bearing has gone bad. Not sure to replace bearing or the whole hub? I had a bearing replaced maybe a year and a half ago but dont remember if it was the same one thats gone bad again or if it was the passenger side one. Any direction is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
God bless,
Matt

I've replaced the whole knuckle before with a jy one but that didnt last too long..
I would suggest picking up a new bearing 28-60 bucks depending where, inner and outer seals about 20 bucks each, and search for local machine shops in your area. Call a few of them and ask what they charge for pressing a bearing..once you find a decent price start pullin the knuckle and take everything there.

The longer you drive on the bad bearing, the worse the hub/knuckle gets and it makes it get out of spec. So if you change the bearing, do it fast. I bought mine from www.rockauto.com, I got the OEM one(they might not have it anymore).

if you have an impact gun, a large bolt and patients, press it in yourself. Thats what me and my pop did. Order goes as follows:
Head of bolt-Large washer-bearing-hub-large washer-Nut for bolt
Use an impact wrench to pull it all together and a vice to hold the bolt head.
Worked like a charm and I saved $40
