97 GT Front Wheel Bearing Question

[EATONSRT]

Are there any write-ups available or a how-to for a 97 GT? I figured they probably are the same as a Cobra as far as wheel bearings so its worth a shot. Thanks

I think I'm going to swap mine out in the spring.

Found any sites that have a how-to?

Buy a Chilton/Haynes manual

I believe its just 3 bolts on the back of the assembly.

When do you know they need replacing? I have noticed lately that my front wheels dont spin freely. I guess its time for new hubs? NO?

noise, extra movement or they allow you to wobble and shake the wheels.

So if everything is tight its fine? They just dont roll freely.

Wait..are you spinning the whole assembly? Wheel, brakes?

Then yeah its not gonna spin too freely cuz the brakes are grabbing. If the last time you spun them was when you did any brake work then the pads weren't really making contact with the rotors compared to now when they are.
