Review on πŸ”§ Enhanced Timken HA590315 Wheel Bearing and Hub Assembly for Optimal Performance by Frank Garahana

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good bearing for bearings and seals

It's a bit difficult to write a review for this type of product as the real test is if it still works after a few years. My local auto zone had two options, their own brand for $130 or Moog for $180. Timken has a good reputation as a bearing manufacturer. It might not be as good as the Moog, but it's at least as good as Autozone's own brand. Okay now the fun part is pulling out the old hubs! One easily extricated itself from a couple of hits with a heavy hammer, but the other poor posture was a nightmare. I've tried the usual methods of hammer, slide hammer, using the power steering as a hydraulic press, none of them budge. After a day of frustration (and lots of swearing) I gave up for the day and had a few drinks that I found a new approach to. This works surprisingly well, but requires an impact wrench and an old brake disc. 1. You put the brake disc back on the hub. 2. Insert a short sleeve between the back of the disc and the caliper mounting point. , so that the rotor cannot lie flat on the hub. 3: Thread some nuts onto the studs and tighten with an impact wrench. This will pull the hub out to hit the rotor. Much luck! both are still fine.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Minor issues
