The driver's side front wheel bearing on my '87 is going bad and I am preparing to replace it. I would prefer to replace the whole hub assembly as it means I don't have to deal with pressing the bearing into the hub, and it would be preventative maintenance for any future problems as well, but after a lot of searching online I am coming up empty handed. Is my only option to replace the bearing and keep the old hub?

Thank you for this! Two different hubs are offered for the FC on that site, one being steel and the other duralumin. Which would you recommend?

I think you're thinking of unsealed bearings.

Honestly, I think the OEM stuff is hard to beat and the wheel bearing is made to be repacked and replaced. I've done it about a dozen times and it's not really a big deal (a little messy). There isn't anything you'll need to press in either.

It's pretty simple.

 

 

It only sucks if you have to replace the inner races...
