I'm new to the forum. Sorry in advance if this has been covered before.
I saw Rocketman's post on front wheel bearing repair. Thanks for the instructions! Huge!
We took it apart to replace a wheel stud, but the wheel bearing seal was damaged.
Before I saw your post, I went to Pep Boys to press a new bearing and seal. They said the hub was too scored and needs to be replaced.
Two questions ...
Is there a way to determine if the hub is really bad enough to warrant replacement? There is a ridge scored into the shaft. (Please see photo.)

TIA!
