Wheel bearing hell f**k my life

[Massive Lee]

When you press the bearing back in, you need to push on the outer race, not the center sleeve. Your bearing is not deffective, it was simply not installed properly. and it is common sense to install them... Sorry. Time to buy another one. Get Nothing but German ones. FAG, SKF are great.

You pressed it in from the inner race didn't you? haha

I pressed it form thew outer race with the apropriate side collar. then I pressed in the hub with the collar on the back so it wouldnt push the innner race out on the back side.

Ive called motion industries to try and have them cross refernce the bearing. and they couldnt even find a skf grw231

So skf is supoesed to be from germany mine said italy

I dont know dude. Japanese cars last longer than our cars. Japanese NTN's are what ZF decided to use in their transmissions and diffs. Timkens (which are also on VWs) are in the equipment I used to fix, lasted 100,000+ hrs. FAGs lasted 60,000 hours and thats when not abused. Its not that FAGs are overpriced as in they are more expensive. They are the same price and I feel they arent as good quality as Japanese NTNs.

Got another skf from kragen and this one worked out. Now I have a subframe issue to adress. Someone pulled the diff before and didnt reuse the washers and I found this.

So I'm gonna weld a plate into there and brace the subframe.

FUCK MY LIFE X2 I am having the same problem with my SKF bearing. The inner races come out by hand and it is fucking damn near impssible to get them back in wtf is this normal for an SKF bearing? The FAG bearing stayed together and I can't take out the inner races by hand on it. Is this a defective bearing or what?

^^ I made the same mistake with a front bearing, 100$ lesson learned.

language?

What is it with the f bombs in thread titles?

[akorcovelos]

the only thing you should ever buy from domestic auto parts stores are things like wiper blades, cleaning supplies, and tail light bulbs. i would never trust any real parts to last, let alone fit the car.

I have gotten 4 front wheel bearings from Autozone and had no issues, but the one I ordered from RMEuropean crapped out after 700 miles.

Yeah... you Fockers ought to watch your focking language, for fock sure

The front bearing races will pop off by hand. Its the type of bearing. Im sure the rear is the same. Why the hell do you think you torque the main nut? Just pop it back together and tighten that shit up.

I made a press to pull the bearing into the arm, then the hub into the bearing WITH A PLATE PUTTING PRESSURE ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE INNER RACE. It doesn't take a ton of force to push the inner race out. Sorry to say, but it was human error on your part. I've done the same thing.

Well nevertheless I got a FAG bearing rush delivered and it went on in 20 minutes no problem. The SKF bearing can suck my balls I never had a problem like that with the front bearings either, and I did use a press for everything btw. On second thought when I pressed the hub in I didn't pull on the back side of the inner race I had a plate on the back pulling on the trailing arm.
