Hard-core CEG'er
wel i had a wheel bearing go out on me probably 5k miles ago. maybe 10k. and i tryied to press it out and put a new one in. but it actually welded itself into the knuckle and it gotso hot even the tie rod end got welded in. so i had a completly shot knuckle, tie rod end and hub.
i replaced it with a junkyard one, the whole thing. hub, beaing and knuckle all were from the same kuckle i picked up. and now that wheel bearing is out! it has alot more play then my old one. about a centimeter of play at 12 and 6 o'clock.
so i need to figure out what can cause this? can over or undertightening do it? because i remember tightening that badboy up pretty hard.
so now im thinking this one also welded itself, and im gonna have to get another whole assembly. or if it didnt, should i rink and reusing my knuckle and hub?
how can i prevent this from happening again?
