Wheel bearings?? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #4442 6 posts Started by t96f
OK so I replaced my front driver's side whell bearing and used and aftermarket bearing and it slid in pretty easy, only had to usea dead blow hammer. Had a bit off a loose feeling since I put it in.. I'm hoping it's just the bearing and NOT the spindle.. SO my question is are they sposed to be a press in fit bearing.. I have access to a pres so thats no worries but don't wanna go out and buy toy bearing only to have same problem.. Thanks
yea it should be pressed in.. and now there shouldn't be a loos feel to them..

I know that, just thinkin that it may have been wore before I put new bearing in, or if bearing isn't quite big enough it may be rattlin around in there chaffing on the spindle..
