Ok, put new pads/rotors/seals on passenger side without a problem. I started late so by the time I got to the drivers side the sun had gone down and got cold (for LA 46 degrees is cold). Did everything needed and went to put the new rotor/hub on, and the bearings got stuck just barely on the axle shaft. They wouldn't budge and stayed on the axle when I pulled the rotor/hub off, had to pry them off with a hammer. Checked them out, no debris inside to stop them, just won't fit back on the shaft. My baby has to sleep on jackstands tonight! Any thoughts? | ||

Seem to be same experience as I had. Just a matter of very careful "hammering" it on - it will suddenly give away. Do take the pain to read my experience on Ottos site to see if I understood your problem correctly: http://home.halden.net/discovery -> Axles & diffs -> Wheel bearings | ||

Got it done and it works without a squeak, grind or other noise that you don't want to hear. I used your hammering method but used a short 2x4 against the hub to hammer on, and it went on after a few whacks. Thanks Frode! |
