THEN noticed that the retaining ring had one end broken off of it and was beat to hell and also say a nice dent in the "new" barring.
Not feeling too confident I ran a lil test and shook the hub to see if it was loose, it didn’t seem to be so I put it on the car and after tightening on the wheel found sure enough it was loose. a long stream of profound language came out of my mouth as I proceeded to call my dad to vent and let him know I will never outsource any other work for any of my cars unless im standing there watching!!! Arrrrrrrr so I have stopped by Toyota and got a print out showing them that the bearings and knuckles from the turbo and non turbo are the same part... there was a bit of concern about that when I was explaining what I wanted to do

That sucks when someone doesn't know how to use a press and they jack it up. I replaced the bearings in my front knuckles at Falwell and our press worked great, you just have to line everything up right with plenty of lube and those timken's go in straight and smooth. I still have to do my back ones too...another weekend perhaps.
