89 T2 rear wheel bearing
ok i got my car running but the rear passenger side wheel bearing is shot. my friend mike and i pulled off the whole hub and purchased a new bearing only to find out you can't press in a new one!!!! i purchased a used hub assembly from mazdarecycling it will be here thursday. hopefully i can put the car back together thursday and test it more with the powerFC.

Uhhh you sure? I had BOTH my rear wheel bearings replaced on my 87TII, and again on the driver's side 6 months later. I didn't purchase anything but the bearing and seal. Then gave that to the mechanics.

ito changed my front bearings already i know they can be done. unless my 89 rear is different it has abs. also the hub is screwed up on mine, the bearing is spinning around in the hub. oh well its just easier to swap the whole hub it has a six month warranty too. i just found out it will only cost me $200 more per year to insure the T2 on my policy!!!!!

in that case the place that was gonna press in the bearing are just jerkoffs
new part is coming. i think ito knows how to do it also but its not worth messing around with. if necessary i have the old one that is bad still. i can always get that one with the new bearing pressed in and swap it again if something happens. spare parts are good
