Front outer wheel bearings. by alex on Tue Mar 25, 2008 7:19 pm
Just a quicky, haveing looked in the how too section it looks like I can get at the front outer wheel bearings without fetching the calipers off. Am I right or barking?

yes you can for adjusting but if you are changing the bearing then you will have to remove the whole hub assembly so you can change the bearing track as well :twisted: :twisted:

Just planning on a look and lube.

With the same 33's on Manny did a look and lube every month, or ate bearings. Wouldnt want to munch bearings when I'm getting ready to go play in Snowden.

Well, the open and lube was very straight forward. I can see if the caliper comes away without a fight its a pleasant job to do. Ive re greased and tightened as feels right. There was a little too much roll on with the hub if spun for my liking, but no play whatsoever. Now theres not and its nicley packed with Bearing grease.
