I'm not sure about the maker of the rear hub/bearings, but I would have to see one, off the car to tell who makes it and if it is a serviceable unit or if it is a throw-away (you buy a new hub-bearing unit and and retorque the nut).



There is no perceived problem with the bearing, but these are junk yard parts and I take no chances. I want the knuckles powder coated because I'm meticulous, and I would presume that the bearings should be removed for that process.

I don't want to sound like an jerk (I hate saying that because I'm not going to be sucessful), but I really am not looking for opinions/advice I just need resources to get the work I want done...done.
