SN95 Wheel Bearings
I have my SN95 spindles/hubs sitting at home, and I figure now is as good a time as any to replace the wheel bearings before I install them on the SVO. I've heard the wheel bearings are entirely different than the Fox, so I'm curious as to what is different and what parts or special tools I will need to get this done.
I may also replace the studs with ARP units. I'm assuming this will be a "press out/press in" process?

im pretty sure on those you have to replace the whole hub when it comes to replace bearings.
And to do the studs easer to intall them on the car, knock em out with a hammer. Stick the new studs through, then take some washers covered in grease and slide them on the stud, then take a lug nut and an impact wrench and tighten down. It will pull it thru.

Yeah, the SN95 cars are a pleasure to work on since they use sealed bearings on a hub. So a brake job is easy as pie, get the caliper out of the way, slide the rotor off (no more greasy wheel bearings, cotter pins, big nuts, etc) and you're done!

Am I just being overly paranoid? Should I be okay for quite a while with the original 10-year-old bearings?

Its alot like the Focus. Not sure if the bearings can be pressed out or not though. Honestly its more a case of "can I find bearings for it" rather than "can I get them out". I'd throw them on and see for yourself. I doubt they'll be bad (they're sealed in grease) and its an easy R&R if they're bad.
