I'm Pretty sure they replaced the bearings, as they replaced all four rotors...seems to me that would make sense...maybe they just sprayed the old ones clean with WD40

Cooper, I called CATCO(very friendly) who sent me to Rosedale Chevy(Julie, whom I owe chocolates,flowers, and a six-pack) who looked up the part and sent me to Factory Motor Parts in Tempe(AZ) so I could order from FMP in Egan(Minn)...they had two hubs, kinda pricey at $370 each, but cheaper than a week in motels eating out...I ordered both(sometimes my learning curve can be acute). The spindle in Nebraska arrived yesterday evening. The hubs will be flown in and should arrive tomorrow evening. If'n we're lucky(hah), we could be on the road Friday...THANKS for the thread lead.

No problem.  Glad to be a help.  Isn't it wonderful how much information can be gleaned in such a short time via the internet?

Few years back I needed one of the twelve lug hubs for my tag.  I could only get it from Airstream, and it was $600.00.  Ouch.  I could have gotten a six lug hub right here, but that would leave six empty lug holes in the wheel.  In retrospect, I should have bought the six lug hub and filled the holes with fake lug nuts.  Other than that, everything was exactly the same.

Glad you were able tofind everything. My man was tumbleing over his feet or somethingI did get ahold of him but he's been so busy that he hadn't had time much to find anything, I told him to forget it as you said you had all the parts coming. Did you ever find out about the rotors and pads ect.??

Sitting in the motel room, but I can look out the window at the MH sitting in the parking lot...bailed it out about 4:30 pm...$1840 plus the $370 for the hub
and the $420 for a motel and probablr $200 for food...ah well, we're back to mobile, got a spare hub, and when I look back tomorrow, all I intend to see is the toad.
Brakes are ok, pads are ok, we're ok. Bearings are new right, repacked left.
Life goes on, and we are outa here!
THANKS, again, to everyone for all the advice and help...forums rock.
