Hi Everyone,

I have a question, I have suspected stuffed wheel bearings.

Went to my local parts supplier and they couldn't find a listing whatsoever for front wheel bearings.
I've searched for the past hour and cannot find any definitive results.

Do I need to replace the whole hub assembly?
Can I buy the bearings alone and get them pressed in?
Anyone have a Part # for them?
Are they also called front hub carrier bearings?
What are they roughly going to set me back price wise?

Thanks heaps in advance :)
 
The wheel bearing is not sold separately. You have to buy the entire hub assembly. I should know...
 
FL hub assemblies on yahoo Japan, current price $21 per side... plus shipping
 
Cheers for that, although I can't find them :/

So does anyone know if the bearing kit that I posted before will work with my legnum?
 
yes chris a answer to that would be good but i think tme steve might also have these
 
What were your search terms, presume you were using import monster to find them?

They may have ended since but if I can find the auctions again will post the links up tonight
 
Buy it now price of $21?? That is quite cheap.
 
^^^ Sounds cheap, but i think it will cost between $200 to $250 by the time you receive it + waiting for it till it arrives in Oz.

I already offered him the hub assembly but he hasn't got back to me, he probably fixed it by now i think.
 
So, I've searched for a while now and made a few calls... all with no success.

Does anyone know where to purchase the Front Hub Assembly . . MR334386

Everywhere I ring doesn't list import part numbers and just can't help.

EDIT: Just found some numbers, wondering if anyone could confirm these also

Timken - 513157
SKF - BR930214
FAG - FW9157
GREEN - 1005FW

Looks like my nightmare is ongoing. I managed to source and fit the front bearings with little hassle but in the process the supplier sent me the wrong ones... he informed me that they were the back and having no idea if he was right or wrong I pulled the back out thinking I may as well do them. Turns out they were the wrong ones anyway and that started a mass search to locate HUB-111's for the back. I managed to do this (or at least I thought I did) and had them pressed onto the old rear splines, then when I went to actually fit them the bolt holes are out by about 2 to 3 mill. Now I have a car that has been off the raod for way too long and still nobody that can actually supply me with the correct hubs. The ones I was sent are suppose to be HUB-111 but they just can't be. They look EXACTLY the same minus the ntn stamping. Can anybody help me put an end to this nightmare and point me in the right direction please.
