Rear axle wheel bearings - Dionisio -C- - 02-19-15
Hello everyone just wanted to know some feedback from you guys. I need to replace my right side wheel bearing on my 66, but since one side needs to be done might as well kill two birds with one stone. I've noticed there are options out there but witch ones would you guys recommend or is it a matter of how much one is willing to spend?

I've used the green style (non-adjustable) bearings and never had a problem with them.

as far as I know on an 8.75" rear there are 2 kinds adjustable(stock) and non adjustable("green") I have green bearings in 2 of my cars and have never had any problems. the stock tapered bearings are really easy to adjust and you only have to do it once. its really up to you. you will have to have them pressed on no matter what you decide on.

Go green if a drag car, go tappered(stock) if you want another 100,000 miles
My two cents

Thanks for the input guys I appreciate it. My 66 is definitely no drag racer lol. Sounds like the tapered would be easier and I would indeed like another 100k miles, this is the first time I have to change the bearings since taking ownership of the car. So looking forward to getting my hands dirty.
