I feel like I'm watching "how it's made"

Back to the maine subject; it was implied in my suggestion that you should use the technique only on parts that are not required to keep their structural strenght/geometry; old rotors, exhaust pipe ect.

 

Please, Dad, don't send me down to the kiddie table, there is some serious bonehead embedded over there.

 

If you get it glowing hot and splash cold water on it, it may also come apart very, very, rapidly. As in shattering and sending fragments flying.

 

lol. yes, there is. There are a few people here that have been run off that forum because of their idiot suggestions, so I guess the foul language and harsh words have somewhat of a place...

Just letting you know that we censor all of the F****ng bad words and try to keep it somewhat clean...

 

Bringing this back...


Is there a write up on thrust washer and needle bearing replacement?


I do a lot of press fit wheel bearings, and often times when hammering the hub out of the bearing, the inner race comes out with the hub and needs to be cut off. Im assuming the same thing is required but wanted to verify.


My bearings are questionable as there is a bit of rust on them and more importantly I want to replace the seal behind it.


Lastly, how do I install the new bearing? Press, hammer and socket, drop in?

 

Everything your asking about or needing info on is in the Rave. One of the shortest sections - "Front Axle and Final Drive". Have a copy?

 

Scouts what's the grade of the swivel grease 00 ? I remember reading lawnmowers use it if so I have a lawnmower parts house local

Best place to get the socket for the big hub nuts? Got em for my g.I. stuff but not gonna be deep enough for this and probly not the right size

 

Yep OO. Hardware for the hub nut socket, it's about the same size as an electric hot water heater element socket. If you can find one with a 3/8" socket wrench your way ahead of everybody else cost wise. AB has them too.....fit's on a socket wrench for the torque spec.

I just removed my axle seals and let the 90W slosh side to side to oil the CV's. Cheap and works like a champ. I have the swivel oil drains too, early 97....

 

Mine don't have drains, so need the cv grease which is the 00 right?

On the old ******/ ww2 with sealed swivels we make it 50/50 gear oil and bearing grease

 

00 is right.
