wheel bearing question

[jester90]

hello all, are there any 94's 4x4's out there that have 2 wheel bearings on the front spindle?? i think mine only has 1 outer and then the spindle/hub bearing...or am i wrong??

You should have two identical bearings for each wheel, one on the outside side of the rotor, and one on the inside side of the rotor.

As mentioned you should have one outer and one inner bearing (wheel bearings... Timken Set-37 for both). You also have a spindle bearing, but that goes "in" the spindle while the wheel bearings go around the spindle.

is there a diagram on the forum that shows a cross section of the spindle and hub assembly.. i.e. both bearings and the spindle bearing and where they go. i dont want to sound like a dummy but i like to understand everything before i tear it apart. lol thanks for your replys, jay

This thread should have all the info you need. One of the topics is the spindle bearing and near the beginning of the instructions it takes you to a thread on removing the brake rotor (which entails pulling the wheel bearings)

You may be a bit confused because the Front bearing just falls out , the rear one is held by the Rear Seal.

I can't believe I don't have a Pic of the Hub.
