Title: Front wheel bearings repack 07 PT
Post by: Robert McVicker on December 24, 2020, 08:28:09 PM

I am thinking about getting my front wheel bearings repacked. Does anybody have part # for the wheel seals? I would like to have them in hand when I go to service facility Thanks in advance

Sorry, I don't know the part numbers.
I just wanted to mention that if you bring the Shop your wheel seals (rather than have the Shop provide them), and the Shop installs them and later they leak, the Shop will blame the failure on the parts you provided. If you expect the Shop to warranty their work you should have them "provide the parts and labor". Then no finger pointing if something goes wrong.

Robert
You may find the wheel bearings are running in gear oil and not grease packed in which case they could just remove the outter hub covers to drain the hubs and reinstall and refill them without removing the hubs.

Mike Sumac makes a good point. Most shops frown on you bringing your own parts anyway.

Fred,
Your 02 Pat has a Magnum chassis which used oil bath hubs. Robert's Pat is an 07 and has a Roadmaster chassis. Data is in the lube section of the 07 Owners Manual if anyone wants to check.
