Had a rough night trying to finish rear bearing/brake job. I am regrouping this morning.
Had no issues on driver side. The passenger side is giving me a couple problems.
1st is the races. Or at least one outer race. They all went in with a bit of a fight, as I do not have a press. I just was hammering then in as careful as I could with a bearing race driver. The last outer race with cockeyed on me and ended up messing it up. Luckily found a new one and will try again today. I am trying to fab up a threaded rod so I can kinda press it in place and ry to keep it square easier. But no fine treaded rod at the store.
Next issue was i went to out on a drum and the inner bearing did not go on. Kinda stuck. I screwed up the seal pulling it back off(came off with a fight). I tried test fitting the other bearing and both spindles same issue. I have to carefully remove the bearing that i pushed a little on by hand and cant seem to pull it off yet. The old bearing goes on. Kinda tight to start, but pops on. And you can remove it by hand with a good yank.
So I think I need to just use some scotch brite and clean that spindle a little??
Any other advice?? This is all timkin bearings. Driver side went together normal.
My other issue, looks like no local timkin seals. Napa one works right??
