Hope that technique fixes it for you. My right wheel bearing went out at approximately 83,000. While driving I started to hear a rumble then the immediate sound of a slight crinkling of metal.
When I removed both sides I discovered the right side was completely shot. Glad I stopped driving and got a tow home ($250.00 later). I didn't want my right front tire passing me up while on the main bridge across the Mississippi!
They're a sealed unit that isn't cheap (inexpensive) and of poor design in my humble opinion since the front and rear bearings are up against each other.
I went the Dynatrac route because I travel away from home quite often and didn't want to get stuck out due to a bad bearing.
