Guest 99obw Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 I know I have seen this discussed here before, but I can't find it. Does anyone have any advice? Tricks that will make it easier? The left rear started making a lot of noise recently. I think I will just do both sides. Is their a seal that I should buy when I buy the bearings? Thanks, 99obw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 97svx Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 I believe that there are seals to replace. But the main thing is to use a tool which does not put stress on the bearing. Hub Tamer is a good one. Some bearings also come with packing grease instead of bearing grease, and should be cleaned and greased prior to installation.

Guest Frag Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 Could you give some more details on that "Hub Tamer" 97svx ? A description and where you bought it. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 99obw Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 Wouldn't one of these be nice. <a href="http://www.tools-r-us.biz/ntc/t/Wheel_Brake_Accessories_Tire/OTC_Hub_Tamer_Master_357686.htm" target="top">Hub Tamer</a> <a href="http://www.autobarn.net/xxx6490.html" target="top">Hub Tamer</a> (hopefully at least one of the links should work) 99obw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Frag Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Thanks 990bw. Niced but a little pricey for someone who's going to use it maybe once or twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 99obw Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 I don't know if I am going to do the work myself or not. It seems it can be a little tricky. These files both confirm and contradict things I have read here. <a href="http://www.endwrench.com/current/Current6/03/Wheel%20Bearing%20PDFs/03-50-02.pdf" target="top">TSB</a> <a href="http://www.endwrench.com/current/Current6/03/Wheel%20Bearing%20PDFs/MSA5TT0201.pdf" target="top">Procedure</a> I would really like to hear from someone that did it without the special tools. 99obw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 97svx Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 I believe that some Rental places have them. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
