Default Front Wheel Bearings -- What else?
Right, ordered new bearings last night -- yay

Also need new axle nuts and o rings along with a 1 1/14 socket?

Questions:

Rear hub o ring is the same as front, jah? AB Rear Hub O Ring

Axle nuts -- $10 each?! Or are Britpart bits ok? AB Axle Nut

Torque spec is 250-360 in rave / bulletin but which is correct?

Front hubs don't use o-rings...they have seals within the axle housing. Most hubs contain new nuts.

No O ring in the front, a SEAL is used FTC4822. See video for install.
The Hub/Axle Nut (CDU1534L) is 32mm & IMHO forget $hitPart.
360 lbf.ft is spec. Good Luck with that.

I always remove the center cap & loosen the nut with the wheel still on the ground.

Get yourself a 4-6 foot breaker bar.

Got the bearings the other day, hopefully going to install them sometime this weeks. Haven’t checked to see if they came with axle nuts, but I’m kinda doubting they did
