After days of waiting for parts to arrive I had the time to disassemble everything. It was not as hard as I thought it would be.
Upon inspection seems like the previous owner pressed in the bearing backwards (black seal facing the diff) not sure if that was the cause of the wheel bearing failing? Or not torquing the axle nut to spec? Either way I had my new parts and I went to the machine shop and they pressed on the new studs, bearing and hub
Since these are extended lugs I’ve also purchased open end lugs from Track Studs.
once everything was torqued I went onto a test drive and wow it feels like a brand new car. No rear end noise at any speed, it was quite amazing and just in time for July 4th weekend Thank you everyone who helped me!
I also forgot to ask, I keep hearing a clicking when going from stand still to start (1st or reverse) and also turning left or right. I’ve torques the axle nuts and did another 60 degrees. Any input on this?
