Hello old friends :) How have y'all been? It has been a while eh?
Anyway, I have a front wheel bearing going bad. I know I could buy just the bearing by itself from the bearing supply place here in town, but I am hoping that I can find a Wheel Hub Assy. for rather cheap. Does anyone have a clue where to get them for around $60?
If it's a VR4, you cannot buy just the bearing. It comes as a hub assembly. The cheapest place to get it new is Cherry Hill at around $100 shipped.
Get them from Cherry Hill that's what I did. You can buy the bearing itself but you'll spend way more than the assembly itself getting it pressed on, assembled, etc.
I keep hearing people say that... It is absolutely untrue. I'd invite anyone to press apart their old bearing and look for themselves. The TT bearings are a hub assembly. There is no servicing the bearing separately.Quote:

I found one for $79 free shipping.
The hub is pressed into the inner race of the bearing. You press the hub off from one side, then flip it and press the bearing out the other, assuming you can get the bearing to come out without falling apart. It has to go together some how, so it can come apart if you know what you are doing.Quote:
