As I mentioned in Removing the Hub, there was a noise. Well, it turned out that the noise was only somewhat related to the bearings. They needed to be replaced, yes. The oil seals for the front wheels are Timken #9015-S:

The inner bearings are Timken LM48548 and for the cone and LM8510 for the cup:

The GM casting mark can be seen through the opening in the hub:

The new bearing cup can be pushed into place with the old bearing. Watch out, though, and don't drive it in too far, as it is hard to get the old bearing out, even if it is in only a quarter inch more than standard:
