Front Wheel Bearings
Hey guys,
Has anyone here recently replaced a front whel bearing with a generic bearing? as opposed to a Kazillion dollar Mitsubishi supplied bearing - which is a generic bloody bearing anyway?
It would appear one of mine is on the verge of collapse & am hoping to get a part number so I can head down to CBC bearings this arvo & match up a set.

Well you can take that job & jam it up your @##%!
What a #$%&!
I wouldn't recommend anyone DIY that. Took me 5 hours just to do one, including such fun things as machining up a peice of steel to drift the bearing shell out, heating up the hub with the oxy cause the bearing shell wont bash out & now having to replace just about every ball joint that has a rubber boot because I split them all bashing them out with the ball joint splitter.

Is it possible to press out
CHRISTIANITY: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

Soon find out. Im taking the other one down to the workshop tomorrow to do. Especially now that I have a lump of steel that fits into the centre of the shell.
I just think mine were especially rooted. There was no grease left in it whatsoever, so it would have getting almightily hot. Welded itself in.

Hey Ben, just remember to put high temp grease in, not the general purpose sh*t recommended in the manual
Agree it is a bitch of a job but doable with a little patience, a little innovation, and an old man who's a mechanic lol
That's cheap for the bearings too, I bought mine from Camskill approx $90 plus freight, but best I could price up in Sydney was $78 a side, didn't include the snap ring though...

Yep, loaded 'em up with high temp
That snap ring is a bigger a pain in the ass than the bearing itself!
You're supposed to have the Mitsubishi tool to get it out, so instead I just drilled two 3mm holes, one in each side of the heads & just used regular circlip plyers after that..... and being spring steel, I went through a few drill bits too!

Re: Front Wheel Bearings
may be a stupid question, but how did you know the bearings were shagged?

Re: Front Wheel Bearings
well the sound that I have been suspecting to be noisy tyres for the past year or so turned out to not be tyre noise. Ever since I changed back to street tyres from my semi slicks, the noise didnt go away. When I went to get my pink slip done, the mechanic wouldnt do it after he took my car for a drive.
Noisy wheel bearings (rears) he said he could ovelook but my front wheel setup is causing massive rubbage. Ive had it like that for years and I havent busted a tyre yet so I didnt see the problem. Sure it rubs but not much..Maybe he got psyched out by my loud diff.. anywho once he said the noisy wheel bearings it clicked. Should have known it all along. Mine are really noisy especially at highway speeds, you have to yell to talk hehehe
Does anyone know if these bearings are good value??
