MOOG 515036 Wheel Bearing and Hub Assembly

They fit perfectly.

It would have taken a week to get the more expensive Timken everyone recommends. However, Moog also has a good reputation behind Timken and this was a little less expensive and available overnight. Watch all the YouTube videos about how to change this part to get a sense about what you're facing and the tricks for removal of the original. Make sure you also purchase a couple 1/2" diameter grade 8 bolts, nuts, and washers to "jack" the old hub off the spindle. Removing the old hub from the spindle was indeed a difficult part of this job. I used a 24" pipe wrench and sledge hammer. I used oxy-acetylene torch to heat the spindle and bearing assembly. I beat on the face of the old hub. What worked for me was using an air hammer with a chisel to get under the old flange and it started to open a gap. Old chisels and screwdrivers also helped wedge in there. Use plenty of anti-seize on the mating surfaces and spline just in case you need to do this again in the future. Did I mention, also purchase a new rotor for this job! Because the MOST difficult part of this job was the also most unexpected. I could NOT get the old brake rotor off! Beating and heating, beating and heating... over and over. Air hammer, sledge hammer, pry bars, crow bars... nothing worked until I put a bolt through one of the caliper mounting holes and a used a washer and nut to apply extreme pressure to the back of the rotor. After two different attempts, I finally heard that crack and it popped off. Be sure to use anti-seize grease or high temperature brake grease on the hub so your new rotor will never seize like that. Another TIP: As soon as you get the rotor off, remove the speed sensor from the old rotor assembly and save it assuming it was in working condition prior to this job. Why? So you don't have to worry about damaging or melting it when you are heating and beating the hub assembly. Also, I planned on re-using the old sensor and saving the Moog sensor as a spare. In the end, my original did not work in the Moog - I don't know if it was a shimming issue or if it had failed after handling it. Regardless, the Moog speed sensor looks like good quality and seems to be working fine so far. Finally, in all the hub videos, everyone is taking apart the calipers, removing brackets, pads, pins, boots, etc. Why? Unless you're doing a full brake job, with new pads and rebuilding the caliper, just remove the two caliper mounting bolts (18mm hex heads) and pull the caliper off the mounting ears as ONE intact assembly with bracket and pads all together. It makes re-assembly quick and easy, especially if you recently did brake servicing. This is one job you don't want to do multiple times, so if this bearing fails too soon, you better believe I will be updating this review.

Excellent product. Replaced with ease

Always top moog!

Good quality
