I recently powder coated my entire front suspension. Since I had to take everything apart, I replaced all the bushings, bearings, and ball joints. I pressed out the spindle from the knuckle. Removed the wheel bearing but the Inner race was a huge PITA. I searched around here and everyone said to slice it down the side to get it off. So I destroyed the race.

Now everything is powder coated, I go to order all the new parts and the race isnt sold seperately. Im not spending $260 on two new hub assemblies when all I need is the race!!!!!

Please help. Where can I get a new front inner race?

 

This is what it looks like. This isnt mine. My race looks much worse as I had to destroy it to get it off.

the bearing race is part of the wheel bearing.......just buy a new wheel bearing?

 

That part is NOT part of a new wheel bearing. I have two new OEM wheel bearings and it did not come with the race. There is no seperate part number for the race.

 

It is the inner race from the bearing.It stays with the hub when you press it apart.

Do a search on "wheel bearings" there are lots of pictures.

 

How did you get that picture???? I only posted it in a kills thread, and that whole subforum is disabled. Nice to know someone stole it and re-hosted it. FYI, I'm starting a new forum and I'm going to move all my tech posts/write-ups from my various usernames off of honda-tech. Those images are my intellectual property and I will not hesitate to issue a cease and desist to honda-tech every time I catch them being posted here.

Aside from that - the inner race is most certainly part of the bearing itself. It holds the ball-bearings in. That's why (in the original thread) I talked about how I damaged the race on the brand new bearing and had to buy a whole new bearing again.

If you bought any "new" bearings that don't have that race, you most assuredly got hosed.

wtf.....are you kidding......a picture of a hub and bearing? hahaha.......whatever.....intellectual property? LMAOOOO


anyway.....muckman all new wheel bearings come with the races. you gotta look closer at the bearing. if you look down the center where the hub presses into you will see 2 pieces. the inner and outer race is attached to it. if there was no race you would see all the little ball bearings.......now if you purchased a wheel bearing and you can see all the ball bearings then you really did get ripped off..

 

Turns out I was sent the wrong bearing. So thanks guys for the help.

Legion, How about you stop being such a douche and just edit your original thread to remove the pictures if you care that much. And next time you post "intellectual property" on a public forum, have the foresight to tag it with your name.
