I got a wheel bearing kit (not OE), which contains two things that look like oil seals and two bearings.
Now, the bearings in the kit are "straight", whereas the bearing I have on the outer side (hub side), is tapered.

Are the inner and outer bearings different, or, am I missing something obvious ? Do I need an outer kit as well ?

The bearings I have in the kit have the following markings on them if that helps

:UP:

Looked at the new bearings more closely and they look like they are tapered inside, maybe it's just that one bit of the bearing came off with the hub, and the other half is stuck in the spindle

yes,you need to remove the other part like you say,best of luck as they are a pain to get off

Cheers Radman, that's what I wanted to hear

Someone who knows what he is doing is taking the bearings out and putting new ones in, I only took the spindle off the car
Just wanted to make sure I had the right parts.

Fun part is going to be putting it all back together

We'll know for definite tomorrow

get some gas on teh hub, will make teh outer bit come out much easier - "never fear,, get the oxy gear ! "
