I'm going to be doing front bearings and chose Timken parts.
Here is the list I have, let me know if I'm missing anything.....
2pk- Set45
2- JLM104910 (Race)
2- JLM104949 (Bearing)
I will also be installing Warn Premium Locking Hubs.

What axle are you working on??

My guess is your part numbers are wrong as the 2 bearings are usually different sizes.

You’ll need:

Inner bearing and race
Outer bearing and race
Spindle bearing
Wheel seal

If you are changing out the auto slugs for the Warn hubs you will also need Warn # 32720 spindle nut conversion kit.

Definitely get the seals, they’ll almost certainly get bent / torn while removing.

Strongly consider getting the cage bearing (part # “sbk1”) inside the inboard end of the spindle, many times they are dry and rusted from water intrusion. You’ll have to remove the spindle from the knuckle to get to it.

Thanks everyone for the solid advice. I might as well do this while I'm replacing ball joints .

Your parts list for the front wheel bearing replacement with Timken parts looks nearly complete. You have the Set45 bearing kit, which should include both inner and outer races and bearings, as well as the JLM104910 races and JLM104949 bearings, which are the correct parts for your job. The Warn Premium Locking Hubs are a great choice to upgrade your locking mechanism. However, make sure you also have wheel seals to replace while you're at it, as they keep dirt and moisture out of the bearing area.
