I have replace a totall of 4 hub assemblies between 2 bonnies....
Thge last one that came off the drivers side of my 91 was blue.... And when you turned the bearing by hand it was not smooth at all... Also had a roaring noise that changed with the weight distribution...
Replaced the Hub and the problem was solved... Air tools make the job a lot easier though.... Good Luck

8. Remove brake disc.
9. Remove three T45 or T55 bolts. These will be acessable through holes in the wheel mounting flange.
10. Beat the Hub until it comes out.
11. Tap the new one in.

If you get a Timkin( spelling ) from autozone, it should come with a new O-Ring seal and new axle nut as well...
Depending on where you are, coaxing the Axle out of the Hub might be a PITA.... I live here in Florida, so All I usually do is screw the old axle nut on to cover the top / threads of the axle as to not do any damage, and pound the axle a bit untill it moves, I then remove the nut, remove the 3, T55 hub to knuckle bolts and then remove the hub...
If there is a lot of salt where you live, sometimes removing the axle from the hub can get interesting..
Good Luck
Question: Will this process be pretty much the same for a 2000 SSEi with TC and ABS?
Thanks.
