Scraping sound on front right wheel

The D1 wheel bearings ar easy to find and cheap. Fit Rovers, over 1,000 types of Fords, some Chevy, etc. The D2 has them built into the $400 hub...
You should be able to jack up the wheels and rotate and shake and find this pretty quick.
Do yo have an IR thermometer? If so, shoot brake disks after short drive, disks on same axle should be about same temp. I had a sticking caliper, and that side was quite a bit hotter (not just 5 degrees). If pulling to one side don't rule brake fluid leak on opposite side, like the rubber brake hose.. No drive truck with no good brakes, PR has too many hills that lead to water.
D1 brakes are about as basic as you can get. Wheel

I ordered an inexpensive IR themometer. I can think of at least one thing I can do with it.
I'm going to redo my hubs because to answer Mike's question....I don't know if and when the last time they were serviced.
I also finally ordered the ultraguage. I'm sure i will be posting a bunch of codes shortly.

watch this video on wheel bearing change (Defender and D1 similar) LandroverWorkshopDVD.com How to change a land rover range rover wheelbearing brake disc hub caliper - YouTube - he has several - and another one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4A9MTOOC60

If you need to replace your wheel bearings you can check the sticky "Changing Rotors" it includes wheel bearings and all the tools you will need. You can get the wheel bearings at Autozone.. Timken.. something. I can't remember right off the bat. I'll edit in a second.
EDIT:
TIMKEN SET 37
They are the same for inner and outer wheel bearings. You will need 2 wheel bearings per wheel.

Bearings would be a big step for me. I'd have to take it super serious, do my homework and then follow it step-by-step. I could get Guillo to help me with the tricky parts or if I get in a bind.
I don't think the bearings have been done in over ten years if ever so even if they aren't the problem they should be done it seems.
If it's the brake - and not obvious - i'm not going to know so I should have Guillo check that anyway.
Let's see how much of this I end up doing. I'd love to go for it but I need her running and I don't have a ton of time...not to mention multiple other projects on truck and house.
Thanks for those leads Calebbo and Sava. I read a bunch of your posts on this already.

Ultraguage cleared check engine.
Ultragauge reports 0 TC's or Pending TC's. (???) How is that even possible? I was expecting a bunch of codes to research and resolve.

Will I be able to clear service engine or ABS lights?

service engine is a timer that you reset with a screwdriver. ABS no.

Slang, you totally revamped your rear cargo compartment. Grinding, welds, prep, etc. Wheel bearings should be cake for you.
