Front hub bearing assy remove/install question

Snow 30 April 2005 02:22:40
 Ok the short of it... how does one go about removing the front hubs? I
have a noisy bearing on the drivers side (eliminated the ujoint), I was
interested to know of any tricks, do's and don;ts .

Thanks

 Usually the hub is rusted on, some use the three bolts that hold it
on, loosened, and persuaded with a BMFH, I use a paint scraper and drive
it in to separate. The puller as suggested at:

 I use a cold chisel - a paint scraper would just wad up on no time if used
on a hub from the salt belt. If you can make them out with all the rust
obfuscating things, there are three places around the edge, about midway
between the ears that the bolts go through, where there's a bit of a gap for
the chisel, just about where the holes in the backing plate are. I
alternate around these three spots, pounding until my arm gets sore, and
just about when I'm ready to give up and accept that the hub is never going
to separate from the knuckle, it begins to move a little bit.

I suggest using anti-sieze when you put the new ones in.

 You may be thinking of a pudding knife, this is pretty strong and
holds a sharper edge than a chisel:

iron that's brittle like lower A-frame of a Libby.

 You cannot service the bearings, it is a sealed hub. Canadian Tire
sells them, but they are pricey.

They don't normally make noise though. Are you sure it isn't something
else?

I use a sacrificial bolt I have around and put it almost all the way in,
cut the wheels to the side for room, then hit it Hard with a large
hammer. 5 lb or 10 lb. I then cut the wheel the other way and move the
bolt to the other side and hit again. It 'can' be a real SOB of a job.

I would recommend you start soaking the hub flange with penetrating oil
every day for a week or so if you have that time before starting and to
use antisieze when putting the new one in.

 Thanks for the answers guys,, That XJ sold before I managed to get ahold of
the seller over the weekend.. Pisses me off in the sense that other then a
wheel bearing (diagnosed by his and my mechanic) it was good to go...
