[TR] TR4 wheel bearings?

[Michael Marr]

This is not a repair that should be undertaken lightly.  If you have never 
done this kind of work before, I would suggest that you do not attempt it 
yourself.  BUT FIRST, get a second opinion on whether the diff is the 
problem.  Try to find a competent mechanic and ask him or her to drive the 
car and get his or her opinion.

My (very old) Moss catalog shows the ring gear and pinion as part no. 
674-160 for the 3.7:1 ratio.  I don't know what the availability is.  The 
ring gear and pinion are replaced as a matched set.  I doubt that NAPA would 
have one.
