Default RE: wheel bearing ??

Is the whole bearing not turning, or is it just stuck again. If it is a proper fit, the race does not move but the bearing does, If you have it on now and its froze up you may have a faulty bearing. You just use the silver anti seize where tha race sits, that all, grease pack the rest.

I got it on, it wasn't easy it did not just slide on, first I used sand paper then a little grease and a few hard taps with the hammer.... My ? is if I have to do the other side in the future is there a step by step process that I should use? Guy's I would not have been able to do this repair without the input from all of you.... A big thank's to the Forum!!!!!

Bookmark this thread, or better yet, copy and paste these posts in case the thread is lost in the future, there's your step-by-step :P.

It should've pretty much just slid right on provided any rust/corrosion was removed and any nicks on the spindle were smoothed to not have sharp edges. I've done countless styles just like this, just not on a Ram 2wd before, and the new ones slide on like butter once the spindle is taken care of...I suppose you were the lucky one to get the 1 in 1,000, p.i.t.a. one.

Glad to have helped.

Oh, in the step-by-step, if you are of age, a lil' Killians wouldn't hurt, helps keep the frustration level down .
