AT the junkyard: How to check wheel bearing?

[Dattebayo]

Okay, I recently got burned. I went out to get a new knuckle/hub assembly for my B13, and the wheel bearing was shot (probably flat-spotted from sitting a long time... )

Anyway, what is the best method for checking the bearings when they are off the car and if you can't move the vehicle?

Or, does any one of you have a spare B13 or B14 knuckle hub assy. with a good bearing on it that you can sell me?

Maybe I should keep the questions to asking about bodykits, wheels and sound systems. Yeesh...

Did you get your wheel bearing yet? I found a 93 1.6 in decent shape and the guy is parting it out. I got a power mirror, cooling fans, tail light and front corner marker light for $60.00. I'm gonna pull more parts this wk. let me know if you need anything.

...be a little patient.

Buying a wheel bearing from a junkyard is like looking for a virgin in a whorehouse.

Go to rockauto.com and get new ones.

I understand that... NOW. lol
Rockauto only sells the bearings alone, and I can't afford a press capable of the 5 tons specified in the FSM, so hunting was the only option I had.

Oh and BTW, I found the virgin off a 98 B14 SE-R.
