go to carquest, they stock the bearing, it's like $45. then have it pressed in at a shop with a press. I don't have the bearing # handy but if you can, pull a hub and the number should be clearly readable on the bearing.

Hi all,

My 2001 2wd quad cab needs front wheel bearings. I understand that the
front hub is sealed, requiring a new hub as opposed to replacing just the
bearings.

Seems like a simple enough swap, other than the $160ish per side price
tag.

Anyone have any quick tips or 'gotchas' to look out for?

Suggestions where I might find a decent deal on replacement hubs would
also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Craig
