    4 run, 2 don't
    ADD front diff tube has no bearing on what type of wheel bearing you need.

    Look for a replacement for a vehicle equipped with manual hubs.

    You simply have a manual hub set up with the ADD tube modified to be 'engaged'.

    Pretty sure that is not correct. The ADD wheel bearings are different than the manual hub ones

    Looks like they're the same to me after a quick look at rockauto.

    I ordered the beck arnelly (sp?) bearings from rock auto. Koyo bearings came in rebranded boxes... rock auto ftw. Oh and don’t forget new snap rings and seals while you’re in there

    Thanks for the info. DING DING DING we have a pattern going here. Nationals are also reboxed Koyo as well.

    Which underscores connection between Beck Arnley and National. Both are owned by parent company Tenneco/Federal Mogul that is a Toyota OEM parts supplier. I've found National seals to also be reboxed OEM.

    Federal Receives Toyota Supplier Award

    Once you learn the relationships and how to identify the reboxed OEM products that are available at RockAuto.com you can go with quality parts and save a bunch of money.

    Yep. From this picture, looks like the manual hubs have an additional bushing.

    That’s a nut. You’ll need a socket with pins to fit that. I ordered one off of Amazon ~$20. If you’re doing the press work be sure not to booger up those brass bushings that the cv joint rides on. If a machine shop is doing the work remind them not to
