so i need to replace my front wheel bearing but i was just wondering if i should grease it first. well the machine shop is going to do it for me should they grease it? how would you even take the dam thing apart? haha i tried to pull it apart with my hands but it just doesnt work . should i just leave it up to the machine shop to grease? or does it not even need to be greased up at all? TIA

 

It should come pre-greased. Don't try to take it appart. Just leave it.

 

Leave it up to the machine shop if they are doing it.

 

perfect! any tips on breaking free the lower ball joint? **** is a pain in the ***

 

easy as hell.

take out the dust shield and press it out using a hydraulic press. comes right out.

 

Theres also an easier way of lifting the wheel and sticking a 1/2 ratchet back there and then kicking the disc.

that would be nice if i had one in my garage . i dont know if you understood me, i meant breaking it free from the lower control arm . i really dont feel the need to take out the whole knuckle and take it to them. well im actually fixing the wheel bearing on the driver side and the lower control arm inner bushing on the passenger side

my bad. grab a hammer. pick up on the hub, and have someone hit the lca with a hammer. I do not recommend using a pickle fork or any thing that would tear the lower ball joint boot.

 

i jacked up the brake disc with a stock jack and ive been pound on that **** for the longest. haha i need a bigger hammer

 

would something like this work?

after searching the archives found a video. this is by far the best technique eVaRRR!! worked the first time

Is it a grinding/rubbing sound? If so, it's on it's way out.

 

if its a good machine shop that knows what its doin they will hook you up with a grease job

 

its a rubbing/humming sound..its really anoying.
