510 rear wheel bearing installation

[Michael Rankin]

OK, I got lots of help for installing aluminum brake drums, now I want to install new rear wheel bearings.

Since you guys have done this before, what do I need to do to remove the hubs to get at the bearings ?

I have all the brake parts off, backing plate is loose, what's mext ?

 

thanks

You first start by rounding up all your favorite swear words. Then put them somewhere where they are easy to access. You'll need them.

Or maybe DM will be nice enough to move it to the appropriate sub forum.

I would have installed the wheel bearings before the aluminum drums. More efficient.

Step one, remove entire control arms from vehicle.

Grab a case of beer, all those swear words mentioned above, a really long pipe to extend your breaker bar and a big socket (i think 27mm)…, a bearing press, a dremel and get ready for some fun. Can be done on the car, might be easier with the arms off.

 

There are a few write ups around. Don't mess up the threads on the stub axles when your trimming the lock nut. And the torque spec is the higher one… ~200 ft/lbs or something like that.
