Re: Shopping list for replacing front wheel bearings?
The wheel bearings are not servicable as you might be thinking (ie packing grease in them).
Our front hubs are sealed with bearings in tact and toning rings for the ABS.
So basically you just swap out the entire front hub as a unit.
Not just the inner and outer bearings/races like a 2wd.
Pulling the rotors off will give you an idea of what comes next.
You will have to remove the 3 bolts on the back side of the spindle to get the hub off.
If you have deleted your ABS you can buy the cheaper 4X4 front hubs as they do not have the toning rings.

Re: Shopping list for replacing front wheel bearings?
I installed the hub assembly (click-4-pics) <--------- EDIT: *fixed link* (moved website to new host)
The Ty rides real smooth and rotating the old hub gives the answer why. I might buy another hub ass. and do the other side. I didn't hook up the ABS to check if that was fixed but I'm betting it's still fubared.
Check this out:
The sensor touches the toning ring. Is that OK? I tried to loosen the three bolts and push the shield as much as I could away but it still touches. I think that might be the squealing and also the reason the ABS is a de dee dee. I'll test the ABS tomorrow.
Any ideas guys?
