The Revcon uses all Toronado parts up front right to the rotors.
I am wondering if the challenges i read about here regarding the front wheel bearings and the special tool are applicable to the Toro?
I've searched Toronado forums and i don't find much discussion about it.
BTW, that is a testament to the strength of this group. Fifty years out it is much easier to find info on the GMC than on a muscle car that sold 30,000 units in the first year.

If one does the knuckle and hub assembly CORRECTLY .
One can go 80-100,000 miles without needing greasing or disassembly.

Thanks. My question is if the Toronado wheel bearing are as difficult to remove?
Must be someone here who has experienced both.

Shock waves can break the grip with tension in place.
