The repops have six pins holding the end cages (one between every two rollers). On both cars the pins and cages had cut a significant groove on the inside of the hub. One car had about 7,000 miles while the other had over 8,000 miles.
If one of the rear bearings locks up while driving it could be very dangerous.
I'd recommend everyone check the rear wheel bearings in their car.

Dave thats great indentifying information... i have not dealt with the repops for the reason of failure so i did not know that... didnt some repops not have the spiral cut into each roller?
