wheel bearings

im going to change my rear wheel bearings. and yes, i have access to a press. But i need to know what parts to get. this site seems to have good prices http://catalog.eautopartscatalog.com...arts-store.com

do i need a 'wheel seal' for the rear bearings? is that seal different from the front ones? what seal is shown on the link above? is that the correct one for the rear?

i went to buy bearings and i believe the outer was $10 and the inner was $15. and i would get the seal if i were you. i couldn't find it at nearby parts stores, but they did have bearings.

Sorry about the wrong jpg. Yes you need a seal. Go to http://www.mazdaformance.com/rx7parts.htm and click on RX Chassis 86-88, page to 1-E11, and see the parts for the rear wheel bearing. Part #26-154(seal).

Or go to CARPARTS.COM and they have the bearings and seal. Or go search for British Victoria, on the web and get one of their catalogs. Or just call them at their 1-800 number.

I can't tell from the url you posted whether or not that seal is for the rear or not.

I replaced my front and rears and the rears were about $30 each and didnt need any type of seal, they came already pre packed and sealed. I couldnt buy the seal sep. now that I think about it.
