Angry fron wheel bearing is toast.....

Don't know how long it's been that way, but I checked it out about a week ago when adjusting the brakes and noticed the pass side hub was loose, so I tightened it and such. well, I was checking the bar that connects to the lidler arm off of the chasis today....It seemed loose...wasn't, but i noticed the wheel had lot of wibble-wobble. So I checked the hub and I found lots of shaveings, removed it and found dark sticky grease and the race on the hub was loose, so I gotta get it fixed. Which sucks cause I expected to go home for the break in my truck....now I gotta catch aride with my girl.

I HAVE SOME Q'S...

Do I need to worry about the condition of the spindle. It looks clean and smooth.

The hub will be replaced from my parts truck, or can I buy the race and get it pressed in???

The grease on the bearing is very dark, stiff and full of shavings...is the bearing salvagable???? Either way I'm gonna get a new one.

I cleaned, greased and replaced bearings...I've never done the race in the hub.
Thanks Guys!!!!
