Got a bad front wheel bearing on my 1998 Sport.
Purchased a new National 517009 Bearing,
It LOOKS Sealed. I know it's not, Can't be...
The one I'm pulling off is the original 3 piece, 2 bearings and a race, Bearings out, race left to press out.
New one is still 3 piece but the bearings have plastic ring on the outside.
I have the know how and decent press to replace it but..
HOW DO I SEPARATE THE NEW ONE TO PACK IT WITH GREASE??
This isn't a unitized bearing, pre-greased and ready to go , can't be.
