 | Dodge Front wheel bearing and transmission I have a 1998 Dodge Ram 4x4 with 4 wheel abs and one of the wheel bearings is going out does anyone know if i can replace just the bearing or do i have to buy the whole wheel hub assembly? also my transmission stutters when shifting from first to second at low rpms does anyone know what the source of this problem could be?? |

pretty sure you have to buy the whole assembly, it will have new mounting studs and wheels nuts, which is a bonus, and i`m pretty sure there are band adjustments that can be made to your trans, a good shop can do it for yah, not saying thats the prob but somewere to start, there is one adjustment outside the trans and one inside aswell, i used to do that sort of stuff but its kinda gettin fuzzyer, hehe is your trans oil in good shape? | |

| I picked up a new hub assembly but I can't figure out how to get the old one off. There appears to be three bolts holding it on but I can't turn them to even with my impact wrench. Do I have to remove those three bolts or am I not prying hard enough to get the hub off the splined shaft? |

| you need to remove those bolts. unless you have real good impact gun, you'll need to use a breaker bar to get them loose.

| I'll have to see if I can get a bigger impact wrench. The only problem I see might be space or trying to get a bigger wrench in there. I've tried heating the end with a small torch but that didn't seem to help either. I'll keep plugging away at it... Thanks for the reply. |
