I need a new wheel bearing and was going to just get an entire assembly. Looks like you can’t get an assembly for the ST:/.
Anyone have recommendations on tools to remove and install new bearing? Also for purchasing new bearings? I’m in the US. Also please correct me if I can buy an entire assembly.
Please and Thank you Much appreciated

The full assemblies are out of stock at rock auto but you can buy a kit for cheap for front or rear, check the year but I assume parts are the same 2014-2019.

pay a local shop to press in the new bearings, ~50 bucks usually depending on where you live. Install is with typical handtools. Obviously I’m oversimplifying, but there are many YouTube videos you could look up too.

Thanks dude. I got new bearings and wheel hubs for both front. Also got an Ebc yellow stuff rotors and pads still less then what a shop would charge just to change the bearings. I bought a slap hammer kit and press kit and going to do it myself.

I love it! Best of luck, it’s not hard usually.

Just did this in my car with a harbor freight press. I bought new hubs and spindles from rockauto and used an OEM bearing. Best of luck!

Nice I didn’t know what a spindle was until you mentioned it. I just got hubs, bearings, and new retaining rings. You think I should replace the spindle as well?

not unless you've hit something and are having alignment issues. if you 've got the hub and bearing, you'll be good.

I picked the car up used and he def hit something cause the rim of the bearing being replaced was damaged so much that it wouldn’t hold air. I got all new rims and tires. I was changing the front wheel bearings as it sounds like it’s time and when I turn the tire on the rotor of the bad bearing is now starting to rub on the dust shield, which it didn’t do for the first couple months. I’ll change the hub and bearing, also doing Ebc rotors and yellow stuff, plus a new dust shield. If the scraping and rubbing persists I’ll look into the part you mentioned. Thanks so much
