914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Front wheel bearing replacement

Posted by: krazykonrad Jun 17 2007, 01:15 PM

Quick questions:
1. How hard or easy is this to do?
2. Any advice for someone doing it for the first time? (besides getting her liquored up first)
Thanks,
Konrad

First... 5-lug or 4-lug? On 4-lug, it's always easiest on a pair of new rotors.

If not new rotors... take your time, go slow. Tap out the old races with a hammer and drift evenly and slowly. Be careful not to score or gouge the surface that the race sits into!

That's about it. Don't forget to pack those bearings really super good.

No sweat
Pull the old ones out
Put the new ones in
Use a soft drift (like brass) and you will reduce the chances of damaging the mounting surfaces for the races
