I bought a Timken front wheel bearing for my 1995 Toyota Celica ST. And I bought inner and outer seals too.
But in the service tech manual I found the outer and inner race, snap ring, and dust deflector. I don't have these on hand.
Someone said the races come with the bearing so that I don't bother to buy more races.

Could anyone clarify this idea? Do I need to buy additional outer and inner races, snap ring, and dust deflector?

Thank you!

Another dumb mistake we made when I did mine was we started to press the new bearing in and then realized we had not put the rotor dust cover back in place...
And you can't pull the bearing back out once you've started pushing it in. So we made a cut on the rotor dust cover and squeezed it back around the hub and bolted it into place.
Now ijust have to bend the rotor cover back into place once Ina while so it doesn't rub. /shrug.

My 1994 service manual has a procedure for installing a new wheel bearing. It's called the FRONT AXLE HUB ASSEMBLY procedure (SA-17).

This procedure begins after STEERING KNUCKLE WITH AXLE HUB REMOVAL procedure (SA-13) and the FRONT AXLE HUB DISASSEMBLY procedure (SA-15), and goes like this:

Step 1: INSTALL NEW BEARING (bearing and snap ring)
Step 2: INSTALL DUST COVER (using a torx wrench attach it with four torx bolts)
Step 2a: INSTALL OUTER OIL SEAL (undocumented)
Step 3: INSTALL FRONT AXLE HUB
Step 4: INSTALL LOWER BALL JOINT
Step 4a: INSTALL INNER OIL SEAL (undocumented)
Step 5: INSTALL NEW DUST DEFLECTOR

That makes me think you had pressed in the bearing and then jumped over INSTALL DUST COVER to Step 3, where you were pressing the hub into the bearing when you realized you hadn't put on the dust cover? If so, you needlessly damaged your dust cover because you could have easily banged out the hub using a large diameter socket, put on the dust cover, and then re-pressed the hub. Yeah, it is hard to remove a bearing that is in the process of being pressed in, but not impossible.
