Just a little reminder that these go out very fast. I installed new tires on the old 93 bird about 5 months ago. Wife says there is noise comming from the rear. I jack her up and OH MY GOD was the bearing shot. I could move the tire about a inch both ways. Now for the even worse. You gotta remove the entire spindle from the half shaft and have it pressed out. If thats not bad enough the price tag on the bearing was $55.00 and another $30.00 to have it pressed back in. I also broke the brake line as it was seized and twisted off the wheel cylinder. Add another $32.00 on to the price tag. If I had the job done at a shop or the stealer ship probly be looking at $300 to $400. I know im getting old here but this is silly. Oh and the spindle nut you should replace, the only one I could find is in Texas and im in Chicago. Road trip or weld the old one on after thread lock and 250 ft pounds of breaker bar with a 5ft pipe. Just make sure you guys check them and if I need to do this on the other side, im hitting the junk yard next time and replaceing the entire spindle.
