    It's an easy one Bim... about a five beer job, at most. Get some rubber gloves for the packing festivities. I usually just chuck the old bearing altogether... like a water pump... if I'm in that deep, I'm not putting old stuff back in. They are cheap enough, well under a hundred bucks if I remember( I pulled the OEM's at like 5000mi. and found them rusty! I was only repacking with Mobil one, and ended up chucking them) I'm anal as hell that way. I always replace wear items at service time, whenever feasible. Wayne

    Normally on trucks like these, the control arm bushings will go bad before the wheel bearings. That will give you a wobbly feel alot more than a wheel bearing will. Cheaper and easier to fix too.
    Its the thrill of the chase

    Is it just me or does something just plain sound wrong about this?
