It's great though. Would have for this DIY to get lost considering the traffic and feedback I've gotten since creating it. 100K views is pretty impressive. If only this was a youtube video I made

I need to do my front driver on my 06X. Made it to north of 107K miles in Iowa on the original!
Anyway... is the $150 hub and bearing assembly from ebay a good quality part? I am so confused as to which to buy. Local parts places have just the bearing alone for a wide variety of prices.. cheapo $80 and Moog for $235.
I guess I'd rather just buy the hub already pressed on.
Can you get the assembly off with the bolt tapping method without taking the knuckle off? I guess that doesn't make much sense huh, have to press it back on. Hrm.

I went back and forth on this and ended up buying just the bearing, a Timken
https://www.ebay.com/itm/292458095203 . $134
I decided that none of the hub and bearing deals had real NTN/Timken parts. Probably the cheaper Chinese stuff. I have a friend with a shop and a press, so I might just take off the knuckle and he can help me put the whole mess together.

The front RWD bearing is purchased as one unit and does not have the provision for the axle to pass into the bearing.
