If you recall, I slapped an entire bearing/drum assembley on the wife's 96 Metro and been running it while I had the new stuff ready to go. Well, it started making noise and we were going on a road trip soon. It was a balmy 19 degrees in the garage today........ ![]() Here is what the bearings look like on that used hub............ ![]() We do have a moisture issue from what I see so I inspected the backing plate and really could not find any holes, but the factory silicone area around the hub might not be sealing......... ![]() ![]() I sealed it all up with grey silicone and will hope for the best. I also sealed the cap......... ![]() ![]() ![]() I also had to reattach her passenger mirror that broke off somewhere (she has no clue) and I also removed the 3Tech 10 degree advanced wheel and installed a stock cam gear instead. |

that's what's under the brake drum on a late model metro, scoobs. it's the same hub they used on the gt cars. straight spindle, better bearings, new 12mm lugs. the link i posted makes them $25 a piece and you can't buy replacement bearings that cheap most of the time. i keep a pair on the shelf in case i have a wheel bearing issue so i don't have to wait for a delivery. |

Is that for mounting brake drums, or disk brakes in the rear? I have a 94 base model Metro. Will those fit? |

Murf further on down under description is says 92-94 metro rear excluding convertibles. Here is a picture of the drum for a 94 at autozone. http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/Duralast-Brake-Drum-Rear/1994-Geo-Metro/_/N-j0wv9Z8knp2?itemIdentifier=65400_0_0_ |

Murf your car will have to have the straight spindle not the tapered one. |
