Just want to get the net wisdom on replacing the front wheel hub/bearing on a D2.
The Rave describes removing the hub in assembly with the axle shaft. Then pressing the axle out of the hub with a press. Replace the oil seal in the axle shaft. Reinstall the axle into housing and then the hub, with Loctite 640.
On a FWD car, I would just use a gear puller to remove the driveshaft from the hub. Can it be done this way on a D2, or the shaft really has to come out to use a press?
Is it wise just to replace the axle seal at the same time?
I know I have an oily wetness on the steering knuckle on the right hand side, as well as 3 Amigos pointing to a failure of the right front wheel sensor. Not sure if the oil is coming from the axle oil seal, or the bearing. I have already purchased a bearing/hub assembly, but not the oil seal yet.
