I just couldn't wait to do this. :shifty:
I have had my wheel bearings sitting on my shelf for about 8 months and decided to go ahead and finally get them in since the shimmy in the steering wheel is starting to get worse...when it happens.
Changing them out wasn't too bad. The drivers side came out fairly easy which leads me to believe that it most likey had been replaced at one time, but that passenger side was ONE STUBBORN S.O.B!! It was so seized in there that it took almost 45 minutes of continual wrenching to get that sucker to pop. I followed this guys suggestion from this thread on post #25 to get them out which works great.

I cleaned out the hub bore and applied a liberal amount of anti-seize. The shimmy is almost gone..again...only when it happens..weird car lol.
