I pulled the hub/spindle and took it the the dealer to press the old one out and press a new one in. 1/2 hr labour.

I finished the wheel bearing with a success!! Now I don't have to worry about that annoying sound when going around corners.

It took me about 2 hours to do. I ran into a litte problen. were when I pressed the old bearing out the inner half stuck to the hub. I made it come off with a vise and a puller. So I pressed everything back together and mounted everything back on the car and now I am with no worries. I will post pics soon.
