new wheel bearing

[Blanik_SHO]

i think a saw that a couple of week ago over the internet but i could not remember wher

there was a sale about some new spindle for like 70 $

so this summer i need to change my bearing, so it would cost a **** less to change the spindle instead of go to a garage to have the bearing push out with a machine and push in!!!

can someone tell me if i was just dreaming or................

Did you looked on rockauto.com?

yep they seem to have what i need but in the section axle bearing and hub assembly there is only REAR wheel hub assembly

but I have also find this in section axle bearing and hub assembly REPAIR KIT
and it is says front wheel but there is like a bearing that is out of the hub assembly,

Since it the front that surely need to be change i think i must choose the REPAIR KIT but the normal seem exactly like the front one

ok i just look more closer to the two picture and only the repair kit seem to have the place (little grind) to receive the front axle the other one is just for the back because there is no possible way the axle could grip to the hub

sorry but my english is not that good so some word, i don't know how to translate them



anyway for 70 us each it would cost about 180 shipped that pretty good!

Yes, those are the right ones for $70. You will probally still have to get them pressed out, and back in again. You will need to get your spindles off the car, and take them to any repair shop around you. I would find some place that does alignments and that sort of thing. Not just an oil change place or something. But the smaller shops are where you want to go. The Ford dealer said they wanted like $250 to press them in and out. But with a little bit of calling around, I found a shop to do them for $30, I waited about 20 minuites, and they were done.

Here's a pic of that 'repair kit' your talking about. The snap ring deal there holds the inside from pushing inward, and that big nut keeps the axle in the hub. Make sure you have a washer there too, if not let me know, I have to order that washer from O'Riely Auto, as they are the only ones I have found to have that washer.

Also if your doing all of this to your bearings, now is a great time for a brake upgrade if your so inclined. Depends on what year your SHO is, but its not much for some used knuckles, and brackets.

it look nice when install i'm going to do that this spring......

for the washer i don't really know what your talking about but i'll see when i'll be there...(but on second thought give me the internet site so if they are just small washer very not expensive i'll command them just to be sure)

for the brake upgrade i already done that......


and also small question how did you remove your tie-rod end, on my old car it is only possible to unscrew them with air gun....but right now i don't have air tool so.....
