Re: Rear Wheel Bearing Tools For Sale
Yes I still have the tools. I replaced both front and rear bearings with Timken bearings from Autozone. Autozone also had the bearing race tool I needed available for free rental.
Vibration is usually due to tire problems, either unbalanced or some other problem. You could also have a rim problem. Bearing noise is usually a low frequency hum or rumble that increases with speed.
The rear bearings require removal of the rear hub assemblies. The most important thing to keep in mind is to mark where the struts are to maintain alignment when you reassemble the rear suspension. The most difficult part of the job was removing the hub assemblies but once I did that, everything else went smoothly. The torque needed to press out the bearings requires either a heavy vise or some other fulcrum device that will hold the hub while you apply torque. If you have ever done suspension work you can get through this job. I recommend purchasing the Chrysler Crossfire Service Manual for instructions on how to remove the hub. It is invaluable for any Crossfire owner. I found the 2004 version of the manual did not have complete instructions for disassembly and eventually found information on the internet including the complete procedure.
Let me know if you are interested in purchasing the tools.
