Driving home I felt what I think is a wheel bearing going out on my passenger front, instead of letting the wheel fall off like I did with my last car i decided to get towed home. I have the wheel off and it looks pretty straight forward. So here is where I pick your brains. How do you get a really stuck bearing dust cover off, and can I pick up a set of vw bearings quickly instead of ordering a 914 set. Is there a difference? Its up on jack stands now and Im driving the gas hog till its fixed so the sooner the better.
Thanks |
