84 Front Wheel Bearing
Went to change my front brakes/rotors/lines on my 84. Right side wheel bearing is making a grating/rasping sound when you spin it. Doesn't seem to have a lot of play. I assume I change it? Best place to get one locally? Advance, Autozone, Napa? Also having a hard time breaking loose one of the hard lines from the rubber hose so that I can put my stainless on.

The tech tip https://www.corvetteforum.com/techti...=172&TopicID=2 says it is for a 91 through 96. Not sure if it will work on an 84.

Thanks Agent86, saw that also. Don't really want to wait for shipping. Am trying to find one at our local stores if possible Autozone, Advance Auto, Carquest, or Napa. Any advice which has better bearing or does anyone know for sure if the firebird bearing works on a 84?

I received the Ebay front wheel bearing that cost me $85 as shown in the link of this thread. I am satisfied, looks like good quality. No brand marking that I could see, just the part # 513019, 3261, and date 10/03.
