So my passenger side rear bearing is bad and I purchased a new one. However after looking at the how-to on the stickies I see the hub comes with a nut. I searched some and that nut was called a "one-time use nut"...
Kind of a stupid question but can I reuse that nut somehow? How do I go about swapping the old hub onto the new bearing? -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold

So this was done today. The old nut came off with an impact gun while holding the hub in place on the ground. The hub was then pressed out of the bad bearing, and a piece had to be cut off the old hub (the bearing race I believe you'd call it in English), because it was slightly welded on by the heat caused by the damaged bearing.
Pressed the hub back in, then impacted a new nut to the back. Total: $45 dollars including shipping to Puerto Rico, part (bearing) and labor. This post has been edited by Syaoran: Aug 25, 2012 - 2:52 PM -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold
