The parts are like 100 bucks, my hub is most likely worn and would not hold a new bearing very well. I am hoping to do this job with a fellow CEF'er, any tips? I am gonna get the hub and the bearing and have that pressed.

They tried getting the hub and axle apart to get at the bearing w/out taking off the knuckle, but it wouldn't budge. So they ended up taking off the knuckle and then taking it across the street to some parts store with a press. Took a few hours. I believe they put on some anti-seize on the teeth of the axle and hub so this won't be such a pain if ever I need a new hub bearing in the furture. Best part; no more vibration/noise! I was talking to Doug and apparently I just missed Stazi the day before getting some exhaust work done. -Bill
