Bearing Replacement

So the list I included in the previous post was correct but there were two additional bearings.  They are in the spindle and relatively small.  I want to say the part # was B2110 but don't quote me on that.

I also went and bough some new seals for the spindle seals.  One presses in on the back of the spindle and the other traps grease on the front of the spindle.

You'll need a few tools if you don't have them to replace the bearings.

1. Bearing puller to remove the smaller bearings and races
2. Race driver to hammer in new pressed seals
3. Spindle socket.  I found the Lisle tool to be the best.  The OEM Tools one had 4 prongs that stick out and didn't match.

I also did ball joints so I needed the ball joint tool (looks like a giant clamp).

There are a lot of parts in the automatic hub and I'll have to post pictures at some point or find a link because it is not hard but a little involved to get everything back in order the right way.
