Front wheel bearing question Kombi
72kombi - July 2nd, 2008 at 04:07 PM

Hi guys, just a quick question before this weekends job. What is this easiest way to get the hub and spindle appart on a disc brake front end on a 72 bus, before pulling the old bearings? I've just ordered a Bentley via Amazon since the old Haynes is a bit sparse on some of this stuff, but a heads up on this one before it arrives would be tops.... Thanks

well just take the dust cap of thats the thing in the middel loosen the loc bolt or if you have nuts loosen remember that they are clock wise and anticlockwise nuts but they should not be to tight and when you replace them don't over tighten
once you have the nut of a gentle tap will pop the bearing out and away you go

As easy as that!!! Thanks, that should keep me busy on Sat, just didn't want to force something that wasn't meant to move.
