Well i got my parts in and was checking my front hubs their worn so i figured i would ask first which hubs to get and from where?

On rock auto there is
Timken
Moog
Acdelco
Skf

severancej

Oh and also those are in order from like 82 bucks to like 105 for the skf

moog is made by Federal-Mogul who in my opinion is pretty good.
I use timken bearings at work all the time and they have always been good for me.
SKF used to be good, don't know about now.
AC Delco I assume is what was on my car originally from factory and I have now replaced 3 of my 4 hubs if that says anything.

Ive replaced 2 of my hubs with ac delco about 4 years ago ,no problems

superglide9375

acdelco or timken

So any tips on replacement?
Take off rotor, then the big nut.
Back out bolts and beat the crap out of it to get it out like my ram and silverado?

Anti seize and reinstall old bolts and nut torque to 100ft lbs.

Sounds easy

IMO if you really want to splurge, SKF is the way to go. Everyone raves about timken, however last few timken bearings I have used all said made in taiwan or china on them. IMO for all the brands, they are coming from a few different major suppliers out of overseas companies regardless. I used dura international hubs on the GP just recently, no issues whatsoever, very high quality product compared to what you would get in a parts store. 1/3 the price of a Timken, acdelco, or SKF product. Moog has been pretty hit or miss for me lately and I lost alot of respect for their products.

blue loctite on the bolts holding the hub on, and the axle nut. I believe the axle nut is 118 ft lbs. Other then that, they are a piece of cake to do. Took me 15 minutes for mine.

How about Wheel Bearings, Inc.? Made in the USA form USA parts. i will be using them next time I need a WB.

Well I'm going with the timken hubs. They probably are in the same build house or something who knows.

I do wonder about the bearings usa company it seems legit just have not ever heard of them

Gmb off amazon even comes with new tty bolts, 2 for 60. I bought them in 2013 and there still going strong.

superglide9375

dam didn't know that about timken,thought they were made here i need to start checking ****

superglide9375

if it don't just fall off in your hand,use 3 arm gear puller if u don't have one get one or rent from local store

I just replaced my g6 with Callahan hubs off of Amazon. They were identical to the quality and build of Timken and were $80 for the pair. Not too difficult with a Ryobi 1/2 impact wrench and BFH.

Yea i paid 80 a pop, I'm pretty familiar with timken, I've gotten Ntn Japan bearings in timken packages before which are top notch.
The dormans were like 65 each so i figured if dormans were that much how the hell could these knock offs be equal quality at those prices cause i know dorman to be like bottom of the line. Maybe I'm wrong I'd really like some inside info to go on.

Right now i just made the call to let the wife take the 1200 mile round trip from cincy to des moine without the hubs on yet, she has to see her step mom who is having major issues with clogged arteries god help her Im thankful the weather is fair and not snowing or id be super stressed haha man what a morning, i always drive everywhere yall know what i mean but dang work has to happen. ..jeez i needa brew

Just did a set on my new GTP Comp G, grabbed a set of Detroit Axle off Amazon for $70 a pair, the reviews were decent. Most all are made in China anyway unless you are getting AC Delco, those are made in the US. Not an overly hard job, one side needed more persuading than the other. Hey Spawne if you did this in 15 minutes, you should be a Nascar mechanic . For my GXP I will spend a little more and probably get the Delcos when that time comes.

spawne does everything in 15 min,lol he prolly is a nascar mech

To do both front hubs took me like an hour. They're relatively simple to do.

superglide9375

me a little longer as i was also doing axcle shafts,hence the 3.8 axle debacle that i talked about lol

severancej

Got the hubs in the mail today.
Timken 513179 from rock auto.
