On to another project from my very very neglected r53

Rear hub / wheel bearing install. just a few picutres and quick write up so people can see what they may be getting into and easy of the install.

first I went the cheap route i have used GMB bearings before with great results and hope for the same on this one.

$53 shipped with prime.
as well digging into this project i found that the rear brakes have never been changed 120K miles

pull the wheel off and expose the rotor hub and all the goodies.

on the back side this is where you need to find the 6 bolts needed to change the hub. 2 for the caliper bracket and 4 for the hub.

 

Yea I had original brakes on mine when I bought it at 111k. Pretty scary

 

one T45 to pull off the rotor.

But in my case changing the rotors and pads

i had to turn my rotors and get some new pads. was in a hurry to jumped on the local store got Wagner not the best but defiantly not the worse.

 

and lastly got her all back together.

she had to sleep over so had to tuck her in lol.

 

this is nuts to me. I take pride in my cars.

I got this guy decently cheap knowing i had some work ahead of me but the list keeps piling up.

 

I knew when I bought it they were pretty shot, which was fine because I'd rather choose my own pad and rotor setup.
