I have searched through dozens of threads and I can't find this so I'm posting a new one.
I was at the dealer yesterday getting a vibration checked out. I thought it was caused by the new driveshaft that was installed as part of that recall.
It turns out I had a front left side wheel bearing that went bad.
I only have 64k miles so I was a bit curious.
I asked for the old parts. What I got was the bearing assembly flange, a complete bearing, and just the inner ring of the 2nd bearing. Apparently they had to cut the other bearing apart to get it out.
Now I've looked at the fsm and all the pics posted here, as well as pics of new parts and I'm not 100% sure how this all goes together and what was tuck to what in my vehicle that caused the need to cut it out.
What I'd like to know, if anyone can explain it, or has pictures, is the following:
-how does the complete bearing assembly look like? The inside, th bearings, seals and other parts?
-how exactly does the bearing assembly get fitted onto the hub. What parts are fitted onto what parts. What is making contact?
-when you use a press to fit the bearing assembly onto the hub, what surface areas are you pushing together? So that you don't damage the bearings?
I've looked at the YouTube videos as well as the tutorials on this site, but none of them adequately illustrate how this all goes together.
I have plenty of experience replacing bearings in older vehicles, but not with vehicles that use pre assembled bearing assemblies that are pressed into the hub.
Thanks
