Rear Wheel Bearings & Hub-Where's a good After Market supplier of them?

And will an auto repair place such as Midas, etc put them on for me?

Is this correct:

That would be it. For best place to get a rear wheel hub for the money, IDK.


Replacing the rear wheel hub isn't hard, I had to remove them to install some ARP extended wheel studs. Just take off the wheel, unbolt the brake caliper and set to the side, pull off the rotor, unplug the connector to the sensor on the back of the hub, remove the little bracket that's tied to just mentioned plug for more room to work, remove the four bolts that hold the hub and then comes the task of getting it out. I made the mistake of not looking behind the hub before hitting it with a hammer, don't do that, the cover is plastic and contains whatever electronics for ABS and whatever else. Likely not the correct way but since I started late in the day and kinda rushed I just put the rotor back on backwards and snugged the lug nuts and hit that with a rubber mallet to get the hub loose. Installation is reversing everything. I followed a tutorial on a wheel spacer install but noticed they had some of the bolt sizing wrong and lacked torque specs, I searched for the repair manual online to get those.

Torque Specs:
For the 4 bolts holding the hub - 41 ft lbf
For the 2 bolts for the brake caliper - 34 ft lbf
For the 5 wheel lug nuts - 76 ft lbf

Thank you DropZone,

Even at $100 each it beats the $260.00 each I was quoted at a brand name tire center! Not to mention the $265.00 for labor (2.5 hours).

$60.00 for jack and stands, $10.00 for a rubber mallet and $10.00 for a breaker bar, $4.00 for bolt buster spray.

I have all the other tools!
No brake bleeding to fuss with either!

just found this at RockAuto.com they have excellent prices, been buying from them for a couple times now, and I'm impressed..

I think this is the same part you were showing above in your original post..

TIMKEN Part # HA590040 Ball Bearing; 3.937 in. Bolt Circle Diam; 5.315 in. Flange Diameter; 2.166 in. Flange Offset; Modified Flange Shape; 54 mm Wheel Pilot Diam

PRICE $88.79

just go to rockauto's website and go under axle/hub assembly you'll see. i think 88.79 was cheaper than that other website you were looking at too!

oh and you can get 5% off by finding a discount code at places like retailmenot.com you put it in the field for "how did you find us?" i think that was the name. every $$ off helps!

Also, don't forget to release the E-brake when you go to remove the rotor lol. This was the DIY I looked at to have an idea what needs to be done. I know the front brake caliper bolts are 17mm, I forgot if the rears are the same. The hub bolts are 12mm as mentioned in the DIY.

This is the clip for the wire connected to the hub, just get a small screwdriver and place it like in the pic and pry it up a bit and remove, also that bracket in the pic is connected to the wire, take off that bolt to get out of the way and make some extra room to wrench back there.
