Review on Timken 513104 Axle Bearing Assembly by Troy Tec

Bought this hub assembly for my 1996 Grand Marquis. They arrived as advertised. The only thing that disappointed me is that they are made in Korea. I was hoping to buy American made products but I think that's almost impossible. Unfortunately! Ford uses a compression nut to hold the stock hubs. To remove them you need a 36mm head and a good pry bar. After wrestling with the driver's side, I found that turning the handlebars to the left allows you to tighten the hub nut better and to tilt the breaker better, making it easier to remove. You'll also need a large 250-foot-pound torque wrench. as a torque specification. is approximately 220 ft. lb. Also, you will need a new nut for each hub as old nuts cannot be reused. I'm happy with the results and still think the Timken is one of the best hubs available. I only wish they were made here.
