Always an excellent idea; I might add that this is a good application for nickel based anti seize, which has very high temperature (> 2400F) and corrosion (salt, acids, etc.) resistance.

Totally agree with Jeff. I simply left my rear bearings in the freezer, when I was ready to press them in I used antiseize and they went in slick as snott. Of course here in Alabama it was nearly 100 degrees for the press in.

Thanks for all of your comments and recommendations.

I spoke to Woody and I am going to go ahead and just buy a new wheel bearing and have it installed.

Thanks again.

If you need the B-90 tool, just let me know.

When you buy a bearing buy good stuff...Timken, FAG etc. For the cost difference you might as well install a premium product
