Use the procedures on this site, www.d-90.com, or www.spanishtrailrovers.com. I use Mobil synthetic grease. The bearings can be found at most autoparts stores (Timken set #37). Use a brass punch to drive out/in the races and be sure to get all of the shavings out. Some people have used the old races to drive in the new ones. | ||

If you use the old race to drive in the new one, the old may get stuck. In order to prevent that, cut your old race so that it can compress, and you'll have no trouble, and a handy dandy new tool to boot! BTW, I used marine grease because of all the water crossings I do. |
