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

The first thing I fixed on my car (the morning after I bought it) was one of the front wheel bearings. When turning corners it made a nasty noise which was the rotor rubbing against the shield. Turns out the inner race on the bearing was spinning on the hub. When we took it apart, it literally fell on the ground. So the bearing and hub were garbage. After finding a suitable hub from a 4th gen celica and ripping to Lordco (three minutes before they closed) I had all the parts to rebuild it. With a friend, his 10T jack and a semi truck, we managed to remove the old bearing from the hub and press on the new bearing. Been driving on it for over two years now, no problems.
