Spindle nut size? (repacking noisy bearings)
What size is the spindle nut on a 94 Bonneville?
I need to repack the wheel bearing because its making noise.... It may need a new one, but I gotta look to see... if it does need a new one, I can only find the hub/bearing assembly, not just the bearings, why so? Anyone know where I can get just the bearings? (hub assy. costs $140 here...)
Thanks, Andrew

BTW...You'll need a 1 5/16 deep socket to take off that nut. Also you might want to soak that nut with penetrating oil before you attempt to remove it.

Cant repack them? Thats just stupid.....
Its pretty loud, kinda crunchy.... and the radio dont work.... He is scared to drive on it, fearing it will sieze....
If he has to buy the whole assymbly, I guess he is without a car for about another month... Guess I gotta find $140 somewhere?
No way I can just buy new seals after I tear out the bearing?
