I did the work my self at that time and many on this forums thought the same thing the dealer was the only one that carried the hub assembly, i am sure the dealer would have loved to bend me over for that one as well though.

That's a 67 mustang. That's a pretty simple job.

If blazers were that easy I don't think that there would be so much confusion about whether or not they can be repacked or replaced.

the wheel bearing hub looks more like this

they are pressed into the hub, i believe that it was mikado14 who said that they need a press to get the bearing back into the the hub.
