Sorry, I was wrong about the bearings. I must have been thinking about my Millenia. But there is a right way, and wrong way to point that out.

FYI- When I had my 1991 FC, Mazda had to replace the front bearings under warranty, and they replaced both hubs. If the races are toast, the whole hub is basically toast. Gotta love aluminum.

Sorry wasn't trying to be "snappy" just trying to correct the info given.

and if the races are bad the hub is not always bad pull the races out and se what the hub looks like..

I normally will use the old race and put the new bearings in (if the old race is still in good shape)
