So I'm looking to do front brakes, bearings and the passenger side CV axle on my new 95 SR.
Question I'm having is the wheel bearings are in stock at autozone but how many do I Need? 2 per truck or 2 per hub?
according to the picture it looks like just one bearing and race.

IIRC there's an inner and outer bearing/race required for each hub/side.

Also, using the old race and a grinding wheel you can make the perfect tool to set the new race. Grind down its sides so it doesn't get stuck in the hub then invert it with the thicker side out so you have a much bigger surface to allow you to use a tap & hammer to 'encourage' the new race into place. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Yeah looking closer at the website there is an Inner and Outer piece listed <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/drunk.gif" alt="" />. Funny they are pretty much the same part number besides a space (set47 and set 47)

Yes, 2 per hub, and same part numbers. Timken 47s are what I used in my Gen 1 and have 4 that arrived on Friday for my Gen 2. You will also need Wheel seals which I found difficult to find in stock at the local parts stores. They ended up ordering a pair for me on my Gen 1 which took about a week. For my Gen 2 I ordered with the bearings from Rock Auto.

A brass drift works just as good or even better.

Where do these wheel seals go in relation to the bearings?
I assume I need 4 of those as well?

Nvm I found them on Rockauto, I love that site.

If your only doing bearings you will need 1 seal per hub. If you do the full teardown including CVs then the are 3 per side. Each one is different. Not sure of the different part numbers right now. Can look tonight after work.

When replacing Hub wheel bearings or repacking used wheel bearing grease, this is the seal needed:

Beck/Arnley 052-3374 = MB526395 1 required for each side. This is the same for Gen 1 & Gen 2.

If digging deeper into the spindle then add this seal:

Beck/Arnley 052-3448 & Federal Mogul (National) 710146 = MB160850 Inner at Knuckle. 1 required per side. Same for Gen 1 & Gen 2

MB160850 goes in position 32325 below:

2 more seals
Differential to Axle Oil Seal MB393883 - I have not found the aftermarket equivalent yet. Same for Gen 1 & Gen 2

MB393883 goes in position 32235 below:

Beck/Arnley 052-???? = MB160948 Same for Gen 1 & Gen 2

MB160848 goes in position 32033 below:

Thank you for the very informative post!

I got BECK/ARNLEY Part # 0523448 and 0523374
Which are the inner and outer wheel seals (according to rockauto)
I should not need the diff oil seals as I'm not taking the shaft out of the diff. Just unbolting the CV and from the inner axle.

But I'm not sure what that larger seal (32325 in the first diagram) is on the inside of the hub. I'll have to take a look at it on the truck. EDIT: I'm really dumb 32325 is one of the seals i listed above. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
