My wrenching services are available for repairs. However - assuming it doesn't interfere with
paintball this year. I'm determined to have one good day of paintball heh.
Front hubs are not too bad. Pull wheel, caliper, rotor, CV axle, unbolt hub, install is
reverse of removal.
I have actually never changed bearings on a rear solid axle. Semi floating axles are what the
Daks use. Slide hammers are usually required for those. Pull wheels and drums. Pop diff cover,
undo C-clips, pull axle shafts. Remove seals, slide-hammer the bearings out. Reverse for
install. (If I'm wrong on that procedure, someone please correct me)
