Leaky right rear bearing. 120-130 67.5

posted by  someone claiming to be mario m on  Mon Sep 27 08:49 CST 1999 [RELATED]

I finally rented a puller (7 bucks) for the day and took off my drums to see what was going inside. On the left side the inards were dry as a bone, the tapered axle end had a thin layer of rust on it. Everything on that side looked really dry, but strangely coroded (I beleive it is all just thin surface rust). Well on the other side, it was a different story, everything was wet with grease coming out of my bearing seal.

So I know that I have to take that drum off again to get in there and fix the problem. I just want to do it all corectly in one go without having to stop because I am missing a needed part, so I have some questions:

1) How can I determine if I need to replace the bearing (is it genearally a good idea to replace a bearing when replacing the seal?)

2) Is there a cheaper source for bearings than Volvo?

3) What parts should I get to do a great thurough job?
