Need new rear wheel bearings, Worth it to go used?
Saves me about $150 bucks a side (250 + customs for new ones, 150cad for used) but I'm not sure if it's worth getting used ones with some wear. Then again it seems they either last 5 years or fail every 3 months so you never know.
Labor's a non-issue.
Your thoughts?
Thanks

Also, I'm not seeing any difference between L and R sides but they sell them side specific
Am I missing something? I mean it's a round bearing that spins both ways.
Also, used they come with the spindle, new they look like this:

I've been told I need the spindle... I'm not sure how the part above attaches as I haven't looked at the hub.
