sources for front Hub with bearing already pressed?

[hotcracker69]

anyone know where I can purchase front hub assembly with bearing already pressed?

i need the front for a 2002 P5 non abs,

rockauto seem to only list for the rear

is the rear and the front the same part?

I know i can buy just the bearing and have it press later, but am thinking with 230k on the clock this is going to be a b**** to take out. want to save some time and labor.

thanks for the help, i see it now,

but is there one with the bearing already pressed?

Are you talking about the hub pressed in the knuckle

Our bearings have retaining c clips so you won't find a hub and bearing together for these cars. You have to press the bearing in, then the clip, then the hub.

You can just buy the parts separate.

The fact that it has 230,000 miles doesn't make a difference. The problem is that one half of the inner race is guaranteed to stick to the hub when you try to separate the 2. Not a huge deal if you're handy with a die grinder and a gear puller or bearing splitter.

No. The replacement front bearing for the Protege never comes pressed in. The steering knuckle is a huge piece of metal, you reuse that.
I guess if you want to save time on the replacement step, you could find a used steering knuckle, press out the old bearing and press in a new bearing. Then, swap out steering knuckles. But, it wouldn't save you labor or money.
