I need to replace the rear wheel bearings on my '99 OBW and have access to a Hub Tamer. Has anyone on this board used one, and if so, do you have any advice for me before start?

 

Second question, my parts book shows 3 seals, one of which is $52. Is there a better (cheaper) place to buy them? Sure appreciate any advice! Thanks

There is a six page instruction document at http://endwrench.com/images/pdfs/WheelBearing.pdf

 

There is also a much longer set of instructions (more than 20 pages) online but I didn't find it just now (document #MSA5TT0201). I printed it recently.

Here is the URL for the longer more detailed 20 page document:

something from 14 years ago, I would imagine so..

Also there's a sticky in this section with new sources for the Endwrench articles.

Or, google the document #.

Right click (right mouse button) on the posted link and then left click on "Save Target As". Select a folder and Save. Then open it with (updated) Adobe Reader DC.

Thanks Rampage.  The link opened for me though
