Cpm590 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I'm changing the front bearing on my legacy wagon. Have the steering knuckle off the hub out and the outer bearing off. The new bearing I bought is incased. It's all one piece. The old bearings are exposed bearings and are made up of several different pieces. Wondering if I got the right part. Do the new bearings come all in one part? Is the casing the race for these new bearings. I bought a new hub as well. The new bearing looks like it will fit on the new hub but don't know if all that will fit into the steering knuckle. I don't want to take the race out of the steering knuckle if it's a matter of me buying the wrong replacement part and doesn't need to be removed. Any advice on what to do next would be great. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY_Dave Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 If it isn't the bolt-in type bearing what happened was the bearing came apart when you pulled the hub out of it. The new bearing just looks like a big cylinder, yes? That is what has to come out of the knuckle. Remove the dust seal and C-clip before trying to make anything move...
