Overview

Key features
- All parts for one side of the front axle
- Timken inner wheel bearing and race
- Timken outer wheel bearing and race
- Wheel bearing seal included
Before you start
Pressing races into the hub takes a driver or press, and the hub bore must be clean and free of burrs before the new race goes in. Inspect the spindle for scoring, since a rough surface will wear a new bearing quickly. Dana 44 front hubs are heavy, so support the hub properly during the press work to avoid bending the race.
The seal sits at the back of the hub and is removed during bearing service. A new seal that is seated square prevents grease from leaking onto the brake parts. Pack the bearings with fresh grease, and keep the hub clean once it is reassembled.
- Clean the spindle before fitting new bearings
- Pack the hub with fresh grease
- Check the hub seal for hardening
