Re: Wheel Bearings
As for taking care of the bearings, listen to what Mike R. said about
"bugger to take off" If you live in the rust belt, you may find that
after you subract the $130 or so for a new assembly, the labor may not
be quite so tough to swallow. Several of us have spent 4 to 8 hours
trying to get a single hub off.
Cheers.

Re: Wheel Bearings
I'm taking your advice but dropping it off at Burnsville Off-road. I
trust those guys to tell me if in fact it's really bad ...and charging
me less than $350.00 if is.
