In regards to the front inner&outer wheel bearings, it's recommended that you use a drift to tap out the old cup that sits inside the hub.Both the inner &outer cones should just come out by themselves, you could also use a bearing press to press both bearings in&out.The rear wheel bearings are held in place by a locking collar/retainer,
These can be removed by use of a cold chisel &hammer you hit the collar on the side, Or you can press the whole unit (collar&bearing) if you have a strong enough bearing press.To fit the front wheel bearings you press the cup into the housing/hub&then place the cones inside the hub then the front brake drum/grease retainer sits in front of the inner bearing cone, it's held in place by a washer then a castellated nut&split pin.You grease the bearings by pressing the grease thru the cones rollers so that the grease pokes out the rollers on the end, smear enough grease around the cup inside&lip of the front oil seal.To fit the rear wheel bearings 1st slide the bearing onto the axle shaft then insert the locking collar&place a bearing seperator plate around the bearing, prior to this insert the rear wheel inner oil seal, this's lubricated by the differential oil but 1st soak overnight in light engine oil if it's the O.E.M/original leather lipped type,if it's rubber then smear the lip with light engine oil.Then you turn the axle upside down inside the bearing press &press down on plate that's holding the bearing or press directly on the axle,if you have a workshop manual it will show the correct&right procedures. |
