Default -Yes! New front wheel bearing assemblies!

Go on the 94' this weekend. After researching and asking questions I went with the Timken assemblies.

It's a straight forward job and while I'm in there I'll be replacing the soft brake lines with SS braided lines.

-Who wants pictures and a write of the procedure?

Some have mentioned receiving the "braided lines" missing the banjo bolts and washers. Some are actually offered this way I believe so .. were they missing or NOT? Who knows BUT if you received lines less hardware measure the thickness of the caliper connection. OE is I believe a dimension close to 12mm and most after-market are 8mm. The OE bolts I doubt will work with the reduced dimension of the banjo connector.

If you did receive hardware I'd be interested in the "under-head" dimension of the bolts included! Maybe mention the "under-head" of what you removed also!

Yes! I'd like pictures.
Did you have to use an impact wrench to get the old one off?
Did you get the assy. with or without the sensor? Where did you get yours? How much? Do you have a part #. I have a '93 coupe.
