    Unless you started a spindle exchange...but there are to many variant in if it's tweaked or not

    I have been looking at replacing my bearing in my 2004 and cannot find a proper diagram or I am missing something, Are the bearing pressed in without a retainer clip to keep it in place? I haven found a diagram that depicts a retainer clip. Also The diagrams depict two seals of the same part number for the inner and outer seals, are these two seals and the bearing all that is needed?

    Reviewing some older posts and I just now saw this one. I would like to know where you see a 10 year warranty on the automotive bearings from Timken/Koyo . Never seen any indication of that time frame.

    There is a retainer clip on the outside of the spindle itself that holds the bearing in place once it has been pressed into the spindle. It's a pretty hefty ring and requires a quality snap-ring pliers to remove and install. It is right behind the outer seal that gets removed once the wheel hub gets pressed out. None of my parts lists show the same part number for the inner and outer seal, as they are totally different in design. What are the part numbers that you are seeing?

    This is a snap shot of the diagram I have currently from the manual and there isnt any mention of a rear seal but there is the lock nut and bearing and front oil seal. And I can only find a part number for the bearing.
