So, after fretting about how hard it could be to mount the front hubs, I managed to do both within an hour.
I removed old bearings and ground down the outer edges to use as a punch. Froze the races overnight and got all 4 of them seated nicely with some gentle guidance - made sure they all set perfectly. Placed the new well greased up bearings in and she went right on to the spindle! I was worried because the old ones were stuck on very tightly. Tightened the nut up and then slack off a 1/4 turn, then hand tight while rotating the wheel. Then new caps. |
