Here are some more information for Wheel Bearing:

A hub bearing in a car serves two main purposes.

1. It allows hub and attached components to rotate freely.

2. It keeps wheel tire and rotating mass attached to the vehicle.

Even though wheel hub bearing is a vital part of the vehicle it is overlooked. Most of drivers are not maintaining it properly.

What are the side effects of weak maintained hub bearing?

Its can causes horrible noises and ghost vibrations. Noise free driving environment is very informant for the driver to concentrate on driving. It facilitates decision making process. High concentration on driving prevents potential crashes and near crashes. According to the study released by National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute (VTTI), 80% of vehicle crashes and 65% of near-crashes caused from driver distraction.

What we should do when we hear phantom noises or ghost vibrations at sporadic points during the drive?

Please check brakes, spring and struts as usual. But furthermore inspect the condition of wheel hub bearing. It may be the hidden reason for the noises. Replace it if required. Most of the time, your issue will be fixed. Some drivers get exhausted by checking brakes, springs and not finding the solution.

Should I regular check it?

You should make it a habit to check wheel bearing at the service.

Please keep in mind that a hub is not a standalone pieced of hardware. It is just part of a handful of important parts that hold the wheel and axle together and keep your car safely together. Wheel hubs look sort of like metal cylinders. Be sure to get your wheel bearings maintained according to a schedule for the safe side.

Better Bearing, Safer Driving

There are two categories of automotive manufacturers: original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket manufacturers like belt tensioner, ball bearing manufacturer.  Ball bearings are probably the most common type of bearing. They are found in everything from inline skates to hard drives. These bearings can handle both radial and thrust loads, and are usually found in applications where the load is relatively small.  While tolerance is an important factor in the performance of a bearing, there are many other factors that also affect the suitability of a bearing to its application.

Bearings may be classified broadly according to the motions they allow and principle of operation as well as by the directions of applied loads they can handle. Generally, they are ball bearing, car engine bearing, car wheel bearing, belt tensioner bearing, clutch release bearings, clutch bearing, NTN bearing, NTN ball bearing and other special bearings.

CLUTCH BEARINGS uses Japan made NTN bearings to ensure their high standard of auto parts.  They also use high quality lubricant for the successful performance of any bearings.  Clutch Bearings Industries Co., Ltd. (CBI) was founded in 1992 by a management team with about 25 years of accumulated experience and know-how in the line, and the company has now become one of the top-two suppliers in Taiwan.  To know about this excellent bearing maker and their more than 2,000 bearings, please go to ……….

Can an average mechanically inclined person change the front wheel bearing assembly on 3/4T Chev Van?

My garage wants $254 plus $75 labor to replace the wheel bearing assembly on my Chev G2500 Van. I would like to do it myself to save the money. I used to change and repack bearing on my cars and trucks. Are there any special tools required? Is this job reasonably straight forward? Are there any tricks or short cuts?

Well, I don't know what year it is, and a 2500 would be a GMC, and a Chevy 3/4 ton Van would be a G20 (at least here in the US), but I feel reasonably confident that it is not 4 wheel drive or front wheel drive. There was a company called Vandura which used to do 4 wheel conversions years ago, but otherwise....no.

So anyway, what you're looking at is a normal rear wheel drive disc brake rotor that needs to be taken off. Jack that corner of the van up, support it with a jackstand, and take the wheel off (probably a 13/16 inch lug nut). You'll need probably a 3/8 inch Allen head wrench to remove the brake caliper retaining bolts. You may need to push the caliper piston in a little bit to remove the caliper, especially if the rotors are scored (grooves in the braking surface). A 6 inch C-clamp, or a prybar or long screwdriver can be used for this. Hang the caliper off of something with some coat-hanger wire, so that it doesn't stress the hose.

Remove the dust cap from the middle of the rotor by grabbing the outter edge with a channel lock pliers, or get a screwdriver behind the lip of it, and pry it out a little bit at a time, alternating from one side to the other. Use some sort of pliers to remove the cotter pin from the castle nut. Remove the nut, and the outter bearing will come out now. Remove the entire rotor from the spindle. The inner bearing and grease seal will come off with it.

Before you start on the bearing, wipe any grease off the spindle, and check it for wear in the area where the outter and inner bearings mount to it. It may be that this part is damaged, as $254 sounds like an awful lot of money for just the other parts, even if that includes a wheel bearing and a new rotor. If that looks OK, and the bearing isn't so bad it damaged the rotor itself, then you should be able to replace just the bearings.

Now there are actually 4 parts to this type of bearing. 2 parts with a cage holding a bunch of roller bearings. The new parts will not be pre-greased. You have to "pack" the bearings. The simple way to do this without tools is to smear a big gob of (disc wheel bearing type only) grease into the palm of your hand. Then take the bearing and push the outter edge of the larger side of the bearing into the grease, while cupping your hand, over and over, until the grease is in far enough that it comes out of the gap on the small side. One section until grease comes out other side, then rotate, do that section until full, rotate again, and so forth, all the way around

Now, here comes the fun part. Most people don't bother with this, and then have a pro do the whole job over again a few months later. Well, do the rest of the job, and the part they did over again at least. The other 2 parts of the bearing are called the "races". That's where the outter part of each of the bearings ride. The roller part of the bearing. Well, guess what? THEY GET WORN OUT TOO!!! Imagine that. LOL

Use a prybar to take out the grease seal, and the inner bearing will fall out. Clean all the inside part of the rotor out. Until you can eat off it.Now look at the other 2 parts you got with the bearings, and locate the old ones inside the rotor. You will need some kind of punch to drive them out. A fairly long one with a pointy tip works best.

You need to hit the part of the race that faces the inside of the rotor, and drive it towards the outside of the rotor. A little bit in one spot, then work your way around a little bit at a time, pushing it out a little bit at a time before moving to the next spot, until it's all the way out. Usually will take at least 3-5 times around, working it a little ways out at a time before it comes out.

OK, now here is where it gets tricky. You have to drive the new races in the same way, without accidentally denting the edge, or slipping and gouging the inside where the bearing rides. And if the get cockeyed, you may have to punch the part that's in too far back out a little bit again. Even some one like me who has done this many times messes it up once in a while, and has to buy another new bearing. A driver made for this is much easier, so you may want to check with the auto parts store, and see if they have one to loan or rent.

All righty, the rest is easy. Put the greased inner bearing in the back. Drive the new grease seal into the place that goes. Turn the rotor over, and put the outter bearing in place, and while holding it in, place the rotor over the spindle. Start the castle nut onto the threads. Tighten it down further while rotating the rotor, to make sure the bearings go all the way onto the spindle.

Wow, I always wondered if there was a point where Yahoo! Answers would cut off my post. Now I know, the answer is yes. If you want the rest (including torque and such), I guess you'll have to e-mail me, as I'm too tired to edit it shorter. Include the year.
