So I just picked up a 92 740 wagon...It has the monster hum and needs an alignment. I want to do the wheel bearing before aligning it. However, I have NEVER done a wheel bearing on any of my cars. Any suggestions on this? I know in the rear you have to press it in and out but what about the front?

Also, where can I get the parts cheap? Thanks for the help!

 

I did the job on my 740 some years back. It wasn't bad. There are bearings also on the back side of the wheel. From what I remember, when pressing or taking the races out, use a brass drift pin so as to not damage the steel races. When replacing, just like a bicycle wheel, make sure the wheel can spin freely with no wobble. Use plenty of axle grease and keep dirt out of the grease.

 

Thanks for the advice I ended up stopping at the you pull it junkyard and got a whole entire good hub assembly for $25

That just made the job a heck of a lot easier and cheaper
