Hi all,
It sounds like one of my wheel bearings needs replacing. I'd like to do it myself; has anyone done this? What specialized tools would it require? Does anyone know specs of a replacement bearing? Is there anything weird I should know about, like non-standard grease?
Also, what if the races are damaged, as well? Does this require shop tools (say, a hydraulic press) to do? I'll look to see what the damage is as soon as it stops snowing ... but I jacked the car up & spun the wheels by hand, individually, and the back drivers'-side door made a very bearing-like noise.
And out of curiousity, has anyone else had wheel bearings go bad? My insight is a standard transmission, from 2000.
Thanks.
