What did you use to install the bearing? We use a 20 ton press to install the bearing and hub with no issues.

Haha, I didn't realize that was the way you're supposed to do it! I just reread the instructions. Lol!

Looks like you need a tube or something to keep the bearing from coming apart while being pushed through. Seems logical enough, I will give it a try today.

Thanks for your help!

Got it done today! Driving smooth and that horrible sounds is gone now.

Just to note, we were able to get the abs reluctor ring off easily using the impact wrench and a 12 point 2" socket.

I will note that we had to buy the socket and we looked at several stores to buy the socket. We went to harbor freight, Menards, and Sears all of which had a 12 point 2" socket. I will note that testing them all out the only one that fit properly, and not loose, was the craftsman one; which was only about $5 more.
