So Napa had the bearings for 6.99, good call.

Nice DIY fix
There are many “McGyver” types here. I do the same for my lawn mower deck spindles, Carquest bearings. Have thought about installing a grease zerk on the hub. |

To reinstall I put the bearings in the freezer and heated the hub with a propane torch and pressed them back in. They spin perfectly now... I will admit, it’s a pain but it’s worth saving the price of the hub. |

A trick to try if bearings are real
tight or have some corrosion ... Aluminum expands a lot more than steel , heating the hub will loosen the bearings |

I think i. Would. Be worth buying a new hub switching it out then you could rebuild the old hub and have it for a spare. I don’t know how long these things last if it’s anything like a utv you will be changing them a lot.

Re: Anyone know the bearing size or number for a club Car ds front spindle 2004
Bearings can be changed easy enough but you need to be sure to check the hub for cracks around the lug studs. The newer hubs tend to be kind of thin in that area and over-torquing of the lug nuts or running larger than stock size wheel/tires will try to pull the studs through the hub flange.
The bearings pictured above have metal dust seals which are fine for an enclosed area, but they are not resistant to water intrusion. If you replace these be sure to use rubber sealed bearings. The rubber seals are more effective at keeping water and dust out of the bearing. |
