Generally, a wheel bearing replacement could cost anywhere between $150 to $800. The cost will vary as per the make and model of your vehicle, part price, and labor charges in your area.

Wheel bearings are a set of steel balls or tapered bearings that roll around inside a metal casing called a race. This casing is located between the drive axle and the brake discs (or drums.)

However, if the wheel bearing replacement cost is not a constraint, you should probably replace both. If one wheel bearing has reached the end of its life, chances are that the bearing on the other side would be nearing its end of service life as well. In that case, replacing both the wheel bearings together makes sense.

Yep, sounds easy. Borrowed this from mechanic friend. Found out 1 of ears was broken so I had to cobble together a strap to hold them in place. U can buy individual arms so u can have 4-5-6 arms. He had 3. U can hit “anvil” on end to persuade puller. Rather odd tool but it worked.

Back wheel bearingsproblems

it is not a shoe ridge issue. the drum is fused to the bearing flange. I do have a good size 3 jaw puller now. got 2 actually. think using that and beating on drum to shock it might work? I had a shop push out the front bearing from knuckle. BANG. really made the tech jump. I am certain the rear bearing is fused to knuckle too. so unbolting the bearing is not going to get me any closer to success.

Well, it’s a MN rust belt, salt sprayed car. Why are there 203 videos on utube showing how to beat off wheel bearings? I am fairly sure it needs new brake pads or rear drums. Wheel bearings? Maybe-maybe not

I cannot remove my rear drums since they are fused to hub flange. not a worn lip issue. its a rust issue. I removed my front knuckle to replace that bearing but I don’t think that route will work on rear drums. I have AWD so there is a splined axle in hub. which is probably stuck. so, the drum is fused to hub and axle is probably fused to hub. I had an idea to unbolt hub from backside and see if I could remove hub and drum as 1 unit. I think hub flange is small enough to clear brake drums if I do this? or should I cut off drum with grinder/torch and than deal with hub?

Delaying a replacement could lead to excessive vibration in your steering wheel, or you may experience your vehicle pulling to one side. A damaged wheel bearing will also strain the hub assembly, CV (constant velocity) joint, and your vehicle’s transmission.

Wheel bearings usually have a long life span of around 80,000 to 100,000 miles. Some may last for 150,000 miles too. There’s no standard maintenance schedule for wheel bearing replacement.

However, like any other car part, wheel bearings can wear out sooner if you frequently drive over potholes or drive too fast over speed bumps. Water, dust, sand, etc., can also get to the bearings and contaminate the grease that keeps them lubricated.

Some cars come with a wheel bearing that you can separate from the wheel hub, while others may have the wheel bearing as a part of the hub itself. If it’s possible to separate them, you only need to pay for the wheel bearing, which is cheaper than buying the whole new hub. That said, it’s a more labor-intensive job.
