Read through the whole thread, very interesting information indeed. Now that I have completed the Brembo F&R install, I was wondering about the bias, and how to actually measure it rather than calculate it. Braking generates heat; would it be too simplistic to measure the difference in temperature of the rotors after a long hard braking and use that as a way of seeing what the bias is ?

Print out a copy of this and keep it handy 04 - Front Hub Unit Bearing.pdf

You'll need the meth as well Nice time Dave, I don't think I can match that !

Correct, and a spray can of penetrant as they are usually rusted to hell. You can resue the axle nut, but it's not recommended.

You are not mistaken at all

What rotors are those ? Every other slotted rotor I've seen has the slots the other way around, with the leading edge on the outside of the rotor ? Just curious.

When you measure the circumference, do you have the car in the air ? I would be interested to know how much a couple of psi difference between tyres makes on the circumference.

As sexy as a cheap whore. Don't do it !

Holy cow man. Great walk through but no way I would even think about attempting that.

That depends on your dealer. My rear ones were done under warranty, but I have a good relationship with them, and had a lot of work done there in the past which I have paid for.

The only certain way is to put the car on a lift and then run it in the air. Listen with a screwdriver against each hub to see which one is loudest.

I changed the front bearing yesterday, a few pics during the work: Wheel removed http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e194/PhilTGT/Wheel%20bearing/DSC00843.jpg Brake caliper removed http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e194/PhilTGT/Wheel%20bearing/DSC00845.jpg Brake disc removed http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e194/PhilTGT/Wheel%20bearing/DSC00846.jpg Using a "slammer" to pull the hub out http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e194/PhilTGT/Wheel%20bearing/DSC00847.jpg Hub removed revealing the spline http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e194/PhilTGT/Wheel%20bearing/DSC00848.jpg New hub vs old hub, notice the change in design http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e194/PhilTGT/Wheel%20bearing/DSC00849.jpg New hub installed http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e194/PhilTGT/Wheel%20bearing/DSC00850.jpg It is a pretty simple job, but the hub bolts were badly rusted and took alot of hammering to get them out, otherwise not hard at all.

No, nothing will have changed, or should have changed.

That's the one, the blue one. Make sure you download the driver for it too.

I'm sure your centre diff just loves you

Detailed parts list can be found here

Thankfully not here either http://www.ridelust.com/wp-content/uploads/1986_olds_1.jpg How is this guy going to stop ? he has no calipers on those magnificent looking brake discs

It comes as a complete assembly, I don't think you can buy just the bearing.

no problems here, works like a charm.

No no nooooo I wouldn't dare start messing with the ECU, I'm not that smart

Received mine last week, followed the instructions above and bingo ! Best $15 I ever spent

Great info thanks, going to be trying this very soon.

So basically you have no filtering until the oil gets up to operting temperature ?
