Hello everyone. I have a 97 thunderbird v6. It's treated me well for 4 years, but is starting to give me some problems. I'm pretty sure the right rear hub bearing is on its way out. Started getting that ryhthmic moany grindy sound a few weeks ago and it is only getting worse.

So my question is: I've noticed that the replacement hubs for my car don't have the 3 bolts to hold them in place like most other replacement hubs, just some type of cog wheel thing that looks like it might just slide into place?

I was hoping someone could give me some info as to whether the hub just slides out or if it's a pain in the *** to replace. I can't find much info on the net or youtube about this issue.

I'm pretty broke and am going to have to replace this myself. I just dont want to walk into a nightmare job with my car on jack stands in the parking lot of my apartment complex.

Thank you so much.
