Flange Wheel Bearing - 532009040

Repair Difficulty:

Medium

Time Spent Repairing:

15-30 minutes

Tools Used:

Screwdriver, Pliers, Hammer, block of wood and chisel.

Wheel bearing had broken and fallen out along with the washers from a riding lawn mower.

I took the front wheel off after receiving the parts. The bad bearing had to be pounded out from the wheel housing using a chisel and hammer. This was done carefully so as to not scar the inside of the wheel housing. A shot of WD-40 helped release the bearing along with the gentle hammering. The new bearing was inserted and pressed into place using the hammer and wood block. Once the bearing was in, I lubricated the inside of the wheel housing with a standard grease gun using the wheel grease fitting. I was then able to slip the wheel on the shaft and place the two appropriate washers on the shaft and complete the job with the placement of the locking clip.

I watched YouTube video to learn how to remove the tire:
After jacking up the front of the mower and chocking the back tires, I simply removed the front right tire, loosened the bolt to remove the broken piece and replaced it with the new part. Made sure to grease well and clean up before taking a test drive through the yard!
