real wheel bearing, kelang palit

**Djerms** · March 10th, 2004 07:48 AM

I'm not familiar with this but here's how I understand it:
Repacking: Done regularly considering that the bearings are still a-ok. Parang change lang ng grease.

Press in & Out: Done if the bearings are loose na. Parang i-aalign lang ang bearings.

Am I correct? I'm thinking kasi of buying the bearing na kaagad eh. Pero marami nagsasabi na hindi naman bastabasta nasisira ang bearing. 100tkms na tinakbo ng pickup ko, ni minsan hindi pako nagpa-repack.

Nga pala, for the pressing of the bearings, saan ba may gumagawa nito? Sa gas station kasi sa amin re-packing lang.

So if I need to have my bearings replaced (Front and rear),what are the parts that I need to buy?

Correct! Most inspection intervals for vehicles are at 30,000-40,000kms. Unless you frequently drive flooded areas or close to salt water, inspect/repack intervals will be every 10,000-20,000kms.

Press out the old bearing, hindi kasi matatanggal ito basta basta. Or in some cases, like your L200 the lock for the rear bearing is the one that will be pressed out and back in.

Pwede na pong palitan ang bearing sets even if it is not worn out yet. 100,000kms. has served you well enough. Mas mahirap naman kung abutan sa daan at mag wiggle bigla or worse mabunot na lang.

Hydraulic press is done mostly by machine shops. Gas service stations will do the labor of pulling out the axle, replacing oil seals, and grease.

This is part of your vehicle that's rolling and keeping it smooth. IT actually holds the axle and prevents heat build up. Without wheel bearings, metal parts tend to expand when in direct conact with another solid metal part. Anything that rolls need bearing for that matter.
