The electrostatic discharge will eat the bearings if it is not dissipated by the grounding clip.

To the OP - the factory manuals are available online at startekinfo.com. Click workshop resources on the left side, and then page through until you find the manuals for the 123 chassis.
COOL!
I always suspected there was another reason for the clips.
why don't the modern cars use the clips?

I suspect they found another way to equalize the potential across the bearing.

Remove all versions of JAVA on your computer using add or remove programs or programs and features in the control panel.

Go to Where can I get the latest version of Java 6?

Download the 32 BIT version of JAVA, version 38, install and retry EPC.net.

32 BIT is required for EPC.net and version 6.

Version 7 or 64bit versions are not supported at this time.

I used the new caps that came with my "Made in Mexico" SKF bearings. They do not fit. Reused the old ones.

Also, the inner seals were the wrong size, I destroyed 'em trying to install them.

Garbage.

I decided not to use the bearings. Gave 'em away, AFAIK, they work fine, just not in my car.
