I am trying to replacing the rear wheel bearings. I am at the point where I have the inboard CV bolts removed and have removed the big castelated nut. Not sure what to do now. Should CV and axle be removable at this point? Right not it's not moving much at all.
I also have read posts of people who have removed the CV's only to have the the CV 'balls' fall out. Sounds not-so-fun. How do I avoid that, or is there only danger of that happening if I take apart the individual pieces of the CV itself? After I have the CV removed, should I rebuild the CV as a 'While I'm in there?' I have done an extensive search on the site and read many a thread, but am still stuck and don't see an easy explanation in the Haynes manual. Thanks! |

Robert, I can remove the rear wheel bearings without removing the axles.
Let me know I can run over popem out and reinstall the new ones WITH the axles and stubs in place. I am in Edmonds so its no problem. Jeff I never like removing the axles, so I tooled up so I would never ever have to agian, Its great when doing 5 lug conversions. |

I would be interested in hearing exactly that's done. Maybe my imagination is worn out, but I can't picture how it could be done. The Cap'n |

Make a tool to pull the hub ... inner race of bearing will probably come with it. With that slop, you could then drive out the outer race. It's having the small hands & wrench to get the bearing retainer fasteners out that get me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
