I have a 07 America with 17000 miles...I'm going to have the wheels powdercoated, my question. Do I need new bearings, seals and clips or can they remove and reuse? If I should go with new ones what has everyone used? Please include vendor and prices for bearings, seals and clips...thanked

put new in as you may damage a seal or bearing when taking them out, as for clips as long as they are flat and not twisted from removing them you should be ok but new would be the surefire way to go.

You can re-use the bearings and clips but I would put new in just because they are out. Bearings are cheap.

i think there's some stuff in the tech vault about that. i took my old one's out and matched the numbers at a local bearing shop. much cheaper. just make sure they're not the one's made in china.

make sure no powdercoat on the surface where the races and bearings go, the additional thickness of the paint will cause ya some grief
