I just replaced those needle bearings on mine. The bearings had rusted solid. The rear seal went in real easy. The main problem was getting it out without distorting it. If you distorted it, you will have to get new seals. You will probably have to get them from a dealer or www.kiaparts.com will have them. I don't think you can get them from any generic auto parts store though. I had to get the bearings from www.kiaparts.com. You might as well order the bearings and seals together. It wasn't much for the bearings though. About $10.00 if I remember right.
