89 GL 4wd, Dual range wheel bearings et al


Recommended Posts

I have had the experience of trying to locate the correct seals for my wagon before, so I'm just going to start here as you gentlemen helped me find the last little bit last time as well. Props to all y'all.

When driving to get gas, the front PS brake started smoking. yes, this was the reason to look at each wheel today.

I figure that the brake system gets new fluid through and through after disassembly and re-assembly with proper grease. Hopefully the caliper will fall in line and behave well.

BUT>>>>
When I took the drums off, the wheel cylinders were weeping.
Looking closer, the grease was nearly non-existent and the  wheels turned with resistance.
** the driver's rear hub actually had a colony of ants living in there! Those must be some dizzy ants.

Contacting my local parts houses, they were not showing any wheel bearings, seals or other goodies.  As laudable it is to have a 27 year old Subaroo as my daily machine, the dealership does not enjoy looking up the part numbers for me as the books for my cars are not computerized (or some other weak excuse).

I NEED PART NUMBERS

I NEED PROPER SOURCES

I am getting a bit tired of the hunting down of parts and other bits without having any numbers except those I've kept track of when I bought new or repop pieces.  IS THERE A PARTS CATALOG/ PARTS LIST?

I appreciate your help and know that quite likely all of these things have been answered before, but my search was not fruitful.

Regards.

Ryan
