Does anyone have a trick to remove the bearing from the trailing arm without ruining it?
I ran into a problem while doing my 5 lug conversion. |

QUOTE(Eric_Shea @ Oct 25 2012, 10:40 AM)  You really need a press and a proper sized drift to distribute the load evenly across the available bearing surface to get it out without (hopefully) damaging it. If'n it were me, I'd write of the $50.00 clams as an edu-ma-cation fee and get a new one. More than likely that's what going to happen. I refurbished a set of trailing arms and for some reason they sit differently than the set I had on the car. The tire in rubbing on the inside of the fender well and I have a huge gap on the outside. Just on the drive side. I was hoping to get the wheel bearing and hub out and install it on the original trailing arm. How about the trailing arm bushings. Has anyone removed and reinstalled them? |
