Rear Bearing

[blackheart102001]

Question can you replace a rear bearing with buying the entire hub assy? Been looking around a I know you can buy the bearing but after talking to the Lincoln dealer, all I keep hearing is.....its $900 for the whole thing. Anyone?

I meant without replacing the entire hub

Yes you can. I think I bought a bearing at NAPA about a year and a half ago. Not an easy job and you might need to get the bearing pressed out. I tried to get mine out myself but ran into too many problems. Had an independent mechanic do it and they did it for about $400.00.

the bearing presses into the knuckle and the hub spline presses into the center of the bearing. i ordered mine from rockauto.com about $25ea. i took the rear knuckles off myself and took it to the dealer to press them out and press the new ones in. that was $20ea in labor
