    Hey guys I'm in the process of replacing my passenger front wheel bearing and I received the bearing in the mail yesterday, but when I opened it up it seems like the inner parts of the bearing are loose? When I turn it on its face the inner part comes out about 3/16's of an inch..is that normal? Don't know much about bearings so I figured I'd ask. It's a Koyo bearing btw.

    For your '03? if im not mistaken, the hub needs to be pressed into the bearing. once the hub is in there and the drive shaft is tightened, the looseness will go away. It will be fine after that. Yes, the inner parts of the bearing will come apart. though you don't want to since it could break the seal and allow debree/dust to get passed the seal after it's installed.
