Re: [AMC-list] Brake and Bearing questions

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

The inner race is part of the bearing itself but there is an outer race 
that is in the hub of the spindle. You need to drive it out and replace 
it with the one that came with the new bearing. The bearings are matched 
to their races during manufacturing. You can usually mix brand new races 
on brand new bearings without problems but mixing new and old is bad.

Also, you should take the opportunity to repack the bearings on the 
other side while it is all apart. If any of the bearings are suspect, it 
is best to replace them now.
