There's no such thing as a "muffler bearing" or for that matter a Dodge Cavalier.
Summer and winter air? Yeah right. Me so gullible! Someone is pulling your leg, you should however, check your tire pressure monthly.
You should use the hi-temp wheel bearing grease and not the off brands I might add.
leaking grease or cracks Looseness
need a step through on how to change the front wheel bearings on a 98 cavalier. Have 225,000 miles what else should I look for while in there?
What the s#*%? Oh maybe grease the tree dock. That should solve it.
You can use the grease method. But first you will need a 6" or longer piece of steel round stock that has the same outside diameter as the inside diameter of the pilot bearing. Now, pack the pilot bearing full of thick axle grease, as much as you can get in there, then insert the round stock into the bearing and strike the round stock hard with a large hammer once or twice. Now repack the bearing with grease and strike it again. Each time you do this the pilot bearing should move out a little bit. After several strikes it will come out all the way.
Wheel bearing hubs on all vehicles has to be at least 200 foot pounds. This should be in the directions when you purchase the wheel hub
Its has a bushing and should be replaced everything the clutch is being replaced, as a set!
Yes! These pin bearings are surrounded by high temp grease, the grease is kept where it should be by rubber seals. Once these seals are worn out, and cracked, or broken completely, the grease finds its way away from the bearings, and then you have metal on metal contact. There are four parts to a bearing system on each wheel; the inner bearing, outter bearing, and racers for both. the bearings run along the racers, and without the proper amount, and quality grease, these pin bearings with soon break the racer/lose bearing from retainer/lock up/or just simply over heat and STOP the wheel from turning. so, replace those bearings, and get NEW high temp bearing grease and chock it FULL. this will prevent any future problems.
same as any other car, pull the wheel off the spindle, take the bearing covers off, pry the old bearings out, there should be one on each side of the wheel, and inner and outer. removing the outer will require you to remove the dust cap. before you do this, make sure you buy some new bearings, and find out if they are greased. in my experience they are not. so get your self some bearing grease, and pack the bearings. do this by placeing a large glob of grease in one hand and pushing the bearing in to it with the other (there is a gap at the top or bottom of one side of the bearing to slide the grease in to) this is a fairly dirty process. make sure you grease them WELL!! then reinstall them.
Somebody is probably pulling your leg, unless you have a GM two-speed Powerglide transmission. In which case you should take it to a professional transmission technician
pump the inside full of grease then find somthing solid that fits tight in the hole. line it up with the hole in the middle of the bearing and hit it with a hammer. you may have to fill it with gease and hit it a few times to get it out. the grease should push it out of the bore
if you own this vehicle and do not know how the front wheel assebleys are lubricated then you should not own it... its lubricated by grease.. the front ifs had no sealed connection to the front diff thus it cannot be fed oil front the diff.
