Today I heard an oscillating high-pitched whine while driving. It varied with speed. I'm thinking rear wheel bearings - any thoughts?
If that's probably it, I'll pull them apart tomorrow and repack them. Any tips or tricks for that project? -Rusty (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smoke.gif) |

I had never done this job before and didn't mention anything about pulling out the hub because it seems to me he was most interested in the actual bearing removal. I removed and replaced both bearings using only hand tools and the puller; I did not remove the trailing arms, just the shocks. I reinstalled the new bearings using the puller and I seem to remember using it to reinstall the hubs. This puller came with no instructions but a little intuition and some creativity was all that was needed; it's and amazing "little"item. It cost well over a $100 but it made everything so easy, it was well worth the price! Ron |
