Rear wheel bearing repair and meth kit install
by Matt on March 13, 2010
Today was rear wheel bearing day. I almost stripped the axle bolt but managed to break it free by slipping a box end wrench over the 14mm socket. The rest of the suspension was a challenge, but with a hammer and an air chisel it came apart. I took the knuckle to my friend Darrel’s shop to use his press. I almost ruined the new bearing when I pressed the hub in without supporting the bearing from the bottom. Oops. It went back together very smoothly though.
After that I plumbed the meth up and installed the new coolant tank. Then realized I didn’t have enough G12
