removing hubs to replace bearings
thanks for all advice and support!
first time removing rear hubs to inspect possible worn out wheel bearings, do I need to back off the brake adjustment to free up all the pads inside ? the online videos do not all detail this very clearly, thanks.

Re: removing hubs to replace bearings
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Depends on how tight the shoes are adjusted to begin with. It couldn't hurt to back off the adjustment. But the bigger issue you'll face is getting the hub off the axle. Do you have a hub puller? If that hub hasn't been off in a while, it could be stuck pretty good.

Don't forget that you'll likely want to replace the inner rear seal and possibly the felt seal at the outside. See PM from me to you.
