Use a long punch and a hammer. Move the spacer sideways so you don't damage it when you drive the bearing out from the other side of the hub. When you drive the bearing back in tap it ONLY on the outer race so you don't damage the bearing and don't forget to put the spacer back in same way you remove it. |

Thanks Clarkdw . I'm looking down on the inside of the hub . I'm reaching down with a punch and catching that lip you get when you push the spacer a little out of the way, eh ? or am I banging it in the wrong direction ? |

That is what you want. As long as you are not hitting the spacer itself all is good. Drive the bearing on out. |

' think I have 60 ft-lbs. on that nut. Somewhere someone in a post said that Johnny (Mullet, I presume) said the rear ones are torqued 50-70 lbs. Good . Now I think I'se gotta replace that nut with not much left to bang to keep the wheel from falling off . Anybody gonna chime-in on where to get it ? Thanx again cyber-neighbor clarkdw, that was just what I needed to hear ! |
