Review on πŸ† Premium Quality Timken HA590046 Axle Bearing and Hub Assembly – Precision Engineered for Enhanced Performance by Chris Cruz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good product for axles and heavy duty parts

Chose this instead of leaving it to my mechanic. After watching a few YouTube videos on how to get it working, it doesn't seem difficult. In the end it took about 2 hours. The hardest part was tearing the old knot off the axle. I had to tap and pull a lot. (I think I may have messed up the threads on the axle so be careful where you tap). Otherwise everything is not so bad. Make sure you have the right tools. The axle nut is 32mm and I busted it with a 25" breaker and tons of CRC Freeze and then a healthy dose of WD-40. Be very careful with the ABS sensor. If it's free, work with your hands and a screwdriver. then nothing. Make sure you remove this before even working on the build. Removing the 4 screws that actually hold the build together can be the quiet part of the job. What you actually have to do is turn the wheels right and left until they reach the furthest to access the screws. That saves headaches. Fitting a new assembly is a bit of work as the axle is very solid. Spray some WD-40 on it first, then use the axle nut to get it all together. From what I've heard from Timken, the industry leader in bearings, and backed by a lifetime warranty, you can't go wrong.
