Default wheel bearing/vacuum hub
So I need to replace my wheel bearing, and appearently on my model the wheel bearing and vacuum hub are all one unit.
So anyways, who's done this before and would like to tell me what I'll need to do..

thanks,
Rob

you have live axle. There should be no vaccum associated with the hub

can you just buy 01+ hubs and convert them

----------

looks like the axles are different lengths from 98-00 to 01+. I bet if you bought 01 axles and hubs you could change over to live axle. There are also manual hub coversions for that.

Or I would swap yah, I would love to have lock outs
