rear rear hub insertion
Doing the rear wheel bearing replacement along with the cv axle thing. Got everything back together broken bolts out and everything was looking good and I am in the process of inserting the hub.
I put anti seize on the threads of the axle as it was suggested and now thinking about it I should have put some on the shaft as well so it would have slide on better Problem is its dam near impossible to tighten down the hub into the bearing. I have a 3/4 40 in breaker bar and almost impossible to turn the nut. The hub is only 1/4 the way on. What to do? I thinking the hub is mis aligned . Just want to know if the hub should go on relatively easy up to the point where you need to torque it to 340lbs. Is it that difficult to get the hub on and pressed into the new bearing. Am I missing something? Should I take the hub out and just order a new bearing? It can't be this hard to get the hub onto the axle and into the bearing before the final torque can it? Is it time for air torque wrench? This job is a Pita Help? ![]() |

Did the hub go in easy and how did you do it?
When applying the final nut did you apply any Anthony seize To help push the hub on? Could have sworn bearing was all the way in The hub into the bearing is the question on reinstall |
