LOL. ******* butt monkey.

But yeah, you need to get new ones. It's a bit of a pain in the *** to replace since you need access to a press to get the old ones out and the new ones in. If you have access to a press and an impact wrench, it's a very easy job.

 

You typically have to replace the entire hub when the bearing goes out. Although, if you have a press like Dimi said, then you may not need to. Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, I don't think you can buy just the bearing. Anyway, here's how to change the bearing/hub assembly:

-Take off your wheel

-Remove your drum/caliper/rotor

-Use a screwdriver to 'un-dent' the bearing nut

-Using a 32mm socket (I believe that's the right size), remove the bearing nut

-Remove old bearing/hub and install new one

-Reassemble everything

 

Do you mean how to replace them? Typically you can't fix a bad wheel bearing. You CAN repack them with grease, but that's really a maintenance issue. If the bearing is actuall bad, it won't do anything for you.

A slide hammer actually works also.

 

yep

 

You can buy a bearing alone. I had a right-front bearing go bad. I took off calipers, disk/rotor, then hub. I took the hub and the hub/wheel bearing (that I bought alone) to a shop where they had to machine press the bearing out. They also put the new one in.

A slide hammer (when used with a hub remover/puller) only lets you remove/pull the hub from the knuckle (if front) or trailing arm (if rear).

Not familiar with the hub in question, but on most hubs I am familiar with, proper application of force will only get the bearing apart, it won't get the inner race out.
