front wheel bearings


Recommended Posts

i own a 1988 subaru dl wagon with 4wd.  my front wheel bearings have no outer seals is it posible to regrease these bearings? they turn ok but the whole brake area got red hot from locking up . how much are bearings and where do i find the inner and outer seals for the spindles? i ask parts people and they just look at me puzzled.

thats one thing i keep punching myself for, not replacing those seals, i have replaced all 8bearings (4splined in the back and 4 standard in the front) and everytime i take apart the rear drum brakes, i find bearing grease in the drum brakes, have to clean it before putting it back together.

 

replace the seals, not sure how much they are as i never went looking for them (stupid me), bearings on the front are $20 each, and theres 4 of them, 2 on each side.

 

if you have plans to replace the rears, they are a bit more difficult (for me) than the fronts and you have to get a race out and put another one in (with a press).
