Jetta MK4 Front Wheel Bearings Newb question

[STiGuy06]

My Jetta's front ones finally took a dump and are jiggling around and making weird noises when i hit bumps, i was told i needed new ones by my mechanic.

What's the best kit to buy? Some come with just the bearings and some come with other parts.

I have a friend who is a mechanic and is going to install them with me but i have to buy the parts. I don't know what i need really...never done these before.

Thanks in advance!

Is this a good kit? What are the other 2 nuts included?

thanks, i don't know why it didn't come up in my search on the site. You think i'll need new hubs too? I don't really want to get those if i don't have to.

nope.

Ok, i wasn't sure. Thanks man, i ordered a set of the Bearings off them. I'm not lookin forward to doing this haha. I never did these on any of the cars i had. My buddies coming over though to help.

did you press the bearings in yourself or go somewhere? I need to do mine.

My dad works for Curtiss Wright in NJ...they have HUGE presses there, he took them in and they did it.

you could prolly get them in by using a hammer or mallet but use a black of wood so you don't hurt anything.
