I'm Looking For The Part Number For The Wheel Bearing On A 99 Dakota 2wd. I Know You Can Buy The Whole Hub But Its Alot Cheaper Just To Get The Bearing, Which I Have Done Before But Can't Find The Box It Came In. If Anyone Knows The Part Number For It Or Where I Can Find It Could You Let Me Know? shawn_guru@hotmail.com
Thanks

Red_Dak, I did the same thing on my 00. I don't recall the P/N's but there are several MFG's that make the bearing, BCA, Timken, Chicago Rawhide (CR). Run a search here for "front hub bearing" or "hub bearing" as I posted all of the P/N's 1-2 years ago.
Oh BTW, the dealer or parts store's don't have a listing for the bearing, just the hub,,, now don't we feel like an arse for leaving that rude reply... LOL

I just changed the passenger side bearing on my 99 with 183,400 milles. You can just replace the
bearing in spite of what you are told otherwise.
The OE bearing is a Timken JRM 4249a which will
cross to a BCA 513058 at CarQuest. This job is
rather easy. First remove brake caliper assm and
rotor. Don't let caliper hang by the hose tie it
up with a coat hanger. Remove the large locknut
in the hub with a 1 7/16 socket and a LONG breaker
bar. This mother is tite so eat your Wheaties first. Flip the hub over and support it with a
couple of hardwood blocks and remove the large
snap ring. Yes it is rusty so squirt it with PB
Blaster (my personal favorite) let it soak for
about 5 mins. Take a hammer and punch and tap the snap-ring not to hard but firmly to free it up
in the groove. Once it's out you can drive out the
old bearing with a large drift or take it to a shop with a press and have them do it. If you
have the hub sandblasted(I have access to one,
but it's not nessisary) do so with the old bearing still in beacuse you don't want the blast
media scoring the bearing bore. Reassembly is a snap. Take the new beaaring and put it in the freezer and the now cleaned up hub and put IT
in the oven @ 400* degrees. Don't tell the wife,she won't understand. 1/2-3/4 hour should about do it. Grab the hub(with pliers dummy its
very hot)and set it on the blocks and simply drop
the bearing right in. Yes IT does work,your welcome. Let it cool and reassemble.You should not reuse the old locknut but they are kind of hard to find and the dealer wants about $10 bucks for one. OUCH. I do reuse the old ones but lock the nut with BLUE locktite. I've done it twice now and I know it works. See if you can get
a dealer "tech" to do it. NOT. Have fun...
