After pulling the front hubs and giving them a good look over(a few months ago), I discovered both bearings for the driver's side hub were starting to flake and needed to be replaced. I got a new B45 outer bearing and a NOS 909044 inner bearing.
Fast forward to this past weekend. After knocking the old ones out and cleaning out the old grease that had basically turned to syrup, I tapped the new ones in and greased them up along with the passenger side bearings.
Oh and if you plan on using the older style 3-piece bearings, make sure you put the bearing cage in
before the wheel seal
The seals used were SKF 20669. They fit pretty snug around the inner bearing race, but a little grease helped to pop them in.
I wire wheeled the drum side of the backing plate and shot it with some of that Rust Encapsulator from Eastwoods, hope that stuff works since I got a whole case of it! Then I slid the dust shield on each spindle followed by the assembled hubs. Cleaned up the washer and nut and installed them with a new cotter pin for both sides, and considered the front hubs to be complete!
