Rear bearing installation
Wheel bearings in a rear axle carry the wheel load and must sit square and seated properly. Installation usually calls for a press or driver, clean surfaces and careful seating so the bearing is not damaged. Pressing unevenly can crack the race or misalign the bearing, which leads to noise and early wear.
Check the bearing seat, the hub surface and the seal before assembly, and replace parts that show scoring or pitting. A new seal helps keep grease in and water out. After the job, check for play and listen for noise during a slow test drive, and recheck the nut or retainer as the procedure requires. Keeping the work area clean matters just as much as the tools.
