Hey, DML!
I'm in need of suggestions/help here...
The DAKSY wore out the passenger side front wheel bearing last week...I
decided to wait til I got the new PowerSlot before wrenching on her...
So, OK, the PS was by the garage last nite & I grabbed a wheel bearing
($148) at Advance Auto & a 32mm socket
this AM...
The FSM says to remove the wheel, caliper & rotor, the spindle nut ( which
CANNOT be re-used!) & slide the assembly off the spindle...
OK..Let the Wrenching Begin!
I jack er up & remove the wheel, caliper & rotor...
I got the cotter pin & castellated cover off & the spindle nut came off with
major breaker bar abuse & looking at the near bearing/hub assy, I see that
there are three threaded holes in three sided flange on the back of it...
(The FSM omits this fact)...So...I remove the three bolts & attempt to
"slide the assembly off the spindle" per the FSM...
Yeah right...she's siezed up tighter than a crab's butt...WD-40...BFH...pry
bar...cold chisel...NFG!
I even tried to make a 'pusher' with a big (diameter) nut & bolt...NFG!
WTF do I do now? The FSM does not indicate any special puller required...
It's gettin cold up here in the NE & The Sportster is getting to be a pretty
brutal ride in the AM!
TIA!
