It's seems to be that time where I need to replace my wheel bearings. All of my normal stops for parts only seem to have track oriented replacement options which are way out of my budget. Where should I go to just get oem quality replacement bearings and hubs that won't run me several grand?
Recently I installed the GWR koni yellow and progress spring combo on my 08 NC and noticed a bunch of my bushings were absolutely shot (to be expected after 18 years and 108k) and have started looking into replacements. I think the gwr superpro kit is likely what I'd go for but I want to get a better idea of what this job would actually entail before going for it. Would I be able to swap every bushing included in that kit with a standard array of tools and a loaner press? Also while doing the shocks and springs I found that my passenger rear alignment bolt was absolutely fused with no hope of getting it out short of cutting as far as I can tell. I would also replace the sway end links at the same time which are going to need cutting so I'm prepared for a fight but I'm wondering if there is the risk that things would be fused beyond my ability to save and I'd be better served taking it to a shop for this one. Obviously I'd rather do it myself both for the experience/pride aspect and the price aspect but if there is a large risk of this going horribly sideways that changes my calculus.
