no, they are sealed bearings. Most of the new cars are going to sealed due to being easier to install and change.

 

Thanks Man...

 

Ok thanks too. When i baught the car it came with new wheel bearing.. So I took out the hub thinking I could press the old one out and new one in. I know about the 4 bolts your talking about i had them out. The inner race looks welded to the part with the lug studs( maybe from ware?). I got a new assembely coming to put in my hub.

 

Yea theres no bearing to press in or out. Would be nice due to the price difference but they are a PITA when it comes to working on them. The sealed bearing is easier to work on by far and cost effective for the manufacturer because its just bolt it on and go. Theres nothing to grease or worry about. So at $200 they suck when they fail but the rest of the time they are helpful.

 

I use a koyo from napa. works good so far, just got another one from napa, this was from the ATM product line. I went with oe rear, but aftermarket fronts. they are around 180 locally, but ive seen non oe fronts for 148 or so onthe internet

 

Just out of curiousity, how much are you paying for the Napa bearings? Not saying any aftermarket bearing is not adequate for the job but the OE's are proven to work and are very inexpensive compared to most of the mods we put on our cars.
