Rear wheel hub into bearings
I've got the rear bearings installed properly, but the hub is a very tight (ie can't get it in by hand) fit in the new FAG bearings. Is there a trick for getting the hub back into the new bearings? Freeze the hub?
thanks

it needs to be pulled into/through the bearing with a tool, which is basically a big all-thread rod, thick washers and nuts. no need to chill it. some WD-40 spray is a good lubricant. the trick is to support the inner, inside race so when the hub gets up to it, it doesn't get pushed out the back and ruin the bearing. note that there are two inner races.

Rear wheel hub removal.......
JohnL,
I read a recent post of yours inquiring about rear wheel hub removal. I was following that with interest but never really got a direct answer to your inquiry. So if I may ask you, how did you go about it (hub removal)? Special tool and BFH? Or some novel technique? Please advise. Thanks. Tony |

Hi Tony,
I'm just about to post a bunch of pics how I did it. I used the same "make your own" setup using 1/2" threaded rod, sections of tube and angle iron to make a tool that in the end does all the pulling/pressing you need (you need a dead bearing too). john

 I found that the bearing will slide in by hand if you heat the trailing arm with map gas and keep the bearing in the freezer till the last minute. Removal was pretty easy once the hub was out of the way. Another point I'd add is that not all bearing noise can be diagnosed by turning left or right to load the bearing in question. I was convinced that the left rear was making noise when in fact it was the right rear. For example, many threads will explain that if you turn right and hear bearing noise that the left rear is loaded up so it should be the left bearing that is failing. In my case it was the opposite, just something to consider. Good luck. |
