First, are you sure it is the bearings that are bad? I bought two rear bearings and borrowed the 9199 tool from a forum member. Just before I decided to change them, I had new tires put on and ALL the noise went away. Now I have two new Timken bearings sitting on the shelf. Make me an offer!

I would say it would be best to replace the nuts, but my plan was to properly torque the used nuts with a few drops of loctite.
