My first wheel bearing took me about an hour having my friend who knew how to do them help me though it. The part that took the longest was breaking all the bolts lose since they were impacted on really tight. Now a wheel bearing takes me about 20mins.

my first wheel bearing i had to do when i was in the mud hole... i got drug out by my buddies cummins to dry land cause the truck and the wheel just about falling off.. note to everyone here,,, when your wheel hub truely goes kaboom,, you loss brakes.... my pedal went straight to the floor...

how much that bearing cost ya.,.. the ones for my truck now cost my 280 a peice... your should have only been like 70 somethin... just make sure you torque that main hub nut to the right torque spec or your going to be getting some more practice soon

ok 93.. not bad, but you could get it better next itme.. dont know what you want to take it for, but if ya do one, might want to start shoping for another... it was always preched to me, when things come in pairs ( wheel hubs, tie rods, chevy axles) you do both cause if one goes, the other is gettin ready to...

but ok, 175 is right, good job....
