Left Hub Bearing Replacement 99 4x4

Starting to loose some lube left front. Suspect hub bearing with 102K. I want to confirm I can replace the left and not do the right yet. If y'all could confirm it is OK to do the left side only I will start checking prices on the left hub bearing.

I did my driver side last year, my pass side still is tight but I bought another for the shelf when time comes.

hub repair

dieselpoor,
at the milage you are at with your truck and the depth you are going to have to go to get the hub out-do your ball joints while you have it torn down, if they are not shot,they are right about to be and you will have everything apart anyways- be sure to read MR GADGETS write up on ball joint repair-it will show you how to get the hub off and remove the ball joints-xrf ball joints can be bought on ebay from thetireclub- you will regret not doing the ball joints while you are in there- good luck

Yes pwregan I agree very good advice and maybe the shaft u-joints. But make sure you anti seize the hub before you put in.
