Believe me, I ran and revved the engine a lot before deciding to
remove the hub. I figured there was something wrong with the pulley,
but when I tested it out with a spare hub it worked perfectly and has
since I installed it.
I too have, in the past, had god luck with the place off Powell in
Emeryville, but not in this case. I brought them the SKF number, the
measurements and the bearing and they could not match it up.
