Any time I need to replace a Muffler Bearing, I dig out my "Sky Hook" and use it to lift the car high enough that I don't need to bend over...When I acquire the correct replacement, I make sure it has a Zerk Fitting so it can be serviced from time to time along with the rest of the chassis components under the vehicle :doh:

I tried to do this, but I couldn't find my left-handed screwdriver. I ordered a new one from amazon, but they mixed up my order and sent me a case of pronouns instead

I prefer the sealed ones. Never had a problem.

Should I wait for Richard 1 to recommend a lubricant for my muffler bearings..., or should I just wait for AI Bots to figure it out? ::-): Anyone else getting utterly annoyed at these bots? The internet is full of idiots. So, what are they "algorithm-ing" to seek perfection??? The bot muffler bearing reply is why I wouldn't want a Dr. relying on AI to operate on me anytime soon! :nono: Click on image to enlarge.
"To swap out muffler bearings, you need some special tools. First, take off the muffler and get rid of the old bearing. Then, put in a new one. Watch out for seals, they can get hurt." :banghead:
