1996 Ranger 4x4 front axle bearing help.

[Scootersford]

I'm new here and need help. I am trying to replace the front axel bearing (wheel bearing) on the front drivers side of my sons truck. HELP!!!

What is the problem you are having with it?

 

[Scootersford]

Need to know the correct way to put the bearings in the hub.

Welcome to this forum! The tapered part of the bearing always faces toward the inside. The flat part faces toward the outside. Check # 26, and # 27 in my list of useful threads for more information.

Thanks so much, I looked at #27 and it showed me exactly what I needed to know. You saved the day and hopefully my son will be driving his truck to work tomorrow and not mine...lol
Thanks!

Let us know how everything works out when it's finished. It's always good to hear a success story, and gives inspiration to people doing their own work for the first time.

Thanks Aerostar man for the advice, I had my sons truck up and running before dark. The advice you gave me was great.:
