Rear wheel bearings

Post by Justin »

I'm planning to do my rear wheel bearings before the Memorial Day run. Can anyone suggest a competent shop on the northern end of town (I'm in Frederick) that can press the new bearings for me? Alternately, is there anyone who is willing to do it in exchange for some of their favorite beverage? Is there a way to tell how worn the bearings are? The PO put a build big bearing rear end in the truck and the existing ones may be relatively good. I'm assuming there isn't a good way to tell, and am planning to replace them just so I know their history.

Hi Justin, if there is a Napa nearby call and see if they do them. If not, they can recommend a shop that can. I got mine done at Carquest in longmont. I think it was 25 or 30 per side. Pretty steep but I didn't feel like messing with them.

I have a press if you are interested.
