mra32 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 i think you have enough experience with the front end that it shouldnt be too difficult. take the axle nut off and undo the 4 bolts holding the hub from behind. Simple as that. You need a 15mm socket, an extension to bring your total length to like "6 and a ratchet. An impact gun will help here, since the bolts stick out like 3/4" past the knuckle and get pretty rusty. Coating the bolts in penetrating fluid a day in advance will make things easier I'm not too sure on the specifics with the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rockauto front wheel hub from Timken is $66 shipped. The Autozone one is $100 plus tax. Seriously... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karrkrazzie Posted March 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 well they are only 80 at autozone by me... idk... maybe ill order them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtremerevolution Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 well they are only 80 at autozone by me... idk... maybe ill order them Don't forget there are widely available 5% off coupons everywhere. Just search google for "rockauto discount code" and copy the first one you see, and it will give you 5% additional off. I find a code every time I place an order with them. You save a good amount of cash getting your stuff off of rockauto.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtremerevolution Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 went onto rock auto and they dont have the timken ones for my car.... acdelco and some other off brand... and the acdelco are obviously expensive as hell. Wow, that's some jacked up shit. They don't have the Timken hubs listed for my regal anymore either! I just bought one less than 2 months ago too! Here's what I copied directly from my invoice in my e-mail, which was dated February 1st: TIMKEN 513044 Axle Bearing and Hub Assembly $ 61.89 $ 0.00 1 $ 61.89 Edit...If you search for the part number in their part search, the part will come up and you can add it to your cart! Its the same hub as on your Lumina, so you can order it there. So freakin weird... Also, I just called rockauto, and their sales person sent an e-mail to their catalog department, so that part should be back up assuming it was removed in error.

SigEpCutlass Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 If you go to RockAuto's website and search by part number 513044, there are 2 items that come up. TIMKEN Part # 513044 Category: Axle Bearing and Hub Assembly BCA/NATIONAL Part # 513044 Category: Axle Bearing and Hub Assembly I'm wondering if rock auto is trying to discontinue the timken hubs, and replace them with this other one.
