i just bought a 85 sno commander (w150, 1 ton front suspension 5 lug, 4wd). My front wheel bearings decided to give up on me. the local parts store does not stock the book, nor do i the funds to purchase one. all i need to know how to properly install these front wheel bearings. any help is greatly appreciated!

 

just take your rotor in to the auto parts store and they should have a tool to pull the bearing out (if they have a machine shop) if not you can carfully do it your self with a screwdriver or a small pry bar.</P>


fill your palm with bearing grease and rub the bearing back and forth in the grease packing it onto the bearing as much as you can. </P>


</P>


coat the inside of the rotor with grease and set the bearing in the rotor. </P>


take a block of wood and place over the bearing and use a hammer (hitting the wood only) tap the bearing into the rotor!</P>

that would nice if my bearings were pressed in, which they are not. the hub rides on 2 bearings, which in turn, ride on the spindle which are held on by a nut, keyed washer, followed by a lock washer.
