Yes, it's a good idea to smear a little assembly lube on the bearings when you put them in.
when the welfare check wont cover the beer and the bearings,you need to make a hard choice..bearings or beer...choose beer.that way when the engine blows,you wont care cuz you are drunk.
Wheel bearings? Axle bearings? Differential carrier bearings? Engine main bearings? Engine rod bearings? Engine cam bearings? Need more info to help you.
You can tell when your wheel bearings need replacing is when they are making unusual noises. For example: squealing, groaning, chirping or cracking noises. If this happens, get it checked out right away.
after replacing points in engine, can correct timing be done to engine if engine is not run.
Maybe, it depends on what had to be removed to replace the bearings. If the knuckle was removed on a fwd, it may need aligned.
You need oil in the compressor just as you need oil in your engine. If there is no oil, it will lock up and seize internally. yes it can cause damage to the bearings in the compressor. The unit has oil in it to lube
It all depends on the bearings that you need to replace! Get some quotes! If it is bearings inside the engine, then the mechanic you go to is going to have pull the engine anyways, so if there are no other problem with your engine but some bearings then i would just have the bearing replaced, but if you have other problems due to the bearings going out, then i would replace the engine. Hope i helped
If you are talking about the crankshaft rod bearings, you can just remove the oil pan, and replace each crank bearing one at a time without actually removing the pistons. But to replace the piston pin rod bearings the pistons will have to be removed. IMO, if any of these bearings are worn bad enough to need replacing, then the engine needs a complete overhaul.
Unfortunately, if the mains are shot you probably need to have the crank turned. Just replacing the mains will not really solve any problems.
bearings inside your sterring colum need replacing
If the engine bearings are bad, then the oil pan will need to be removed to gain access. The engine will probably need to be removed and checked for other damage, as bad bearings can score the crankshaft requiring it to be turned smooth or replaced.
Yes, on Buick Century 1991 you need to replace the whole hub, it is much easier than replacing individual bearings.
