I finally pulled one of my rear wheels last night to track down the oil leaks both my rear wheels. The seals between the axle half-shafts/hub, were nice an dry, however, I can see definite oil seepag

Hi Bryan, The bearing replacement process isn't too terribly bad. I've had to do a few. I believe you are correct with the size being 1 7/8. However, I used my dad's 3/4 inch socket set to remove it,

If your rear hubs are anything like mine... you wont need a press for the bearings, they almost fell out. Use lots of Hylomar on both sides of the paper gasket and all over the o-ring, this is where

Does anyone know if there is a 'thrust' side to the rear wheel bearings, and if so, which way should the side marked 'thrust' be installed in the hubs? I don't remember seeing anything about that in

At least on the bearings I had, they had markings on which way to install. I don't remember exactly how it was done, but it was very clear as to the placement. Also, if they just fall out , like And

The rear bearings are not "thrust" bearings as they are up front. It shouldn't matter which way you put them in. For a hub puller, turn the axle around bolt the 'hat' of the axle to the hub with the

Thanks for the tip. I wasn't sure if the rear bearings were thrust bearings, so I thought I'd ask. I'll have another look at them when I get home. - Bryan BTW - will I be seeing your sprite this wee

Although it may be a bit unorthodox I used a 3/8 drive 15/16 socket ratchet side placed against the hub as an anchor point and used a large pulley puller to remove the hubs in a friends 73 Midget. Th

BTW WST had placed the info on the list quite some time back for how to put a better bearing system in the rear of the car. I recall he had the #'s and everything and had been running it successfully

You know... I just had these things off a little more than a year ago when I was restoring my car, and heck if I can remember what I did to remove them back then. In any case, thanks again everyone f

If your bearings are loose, you can use a Locktite product to "make up space". It seems to work well for me. Also, the rear nuts are thin and most sockets have a relief at the edge, so just grinding

The large nut that holds the hub on is directonal. The drivers side is Left Handed threads and the passenger side is Right Handed [normal] threads. You will take the LH nut off clockwise. I believe

Thanks everyone again for all your suggestions. I was able to do left rear hub last night, and after some trial and error, here's what worked for me. I was going to buy a 1-7/8" socket, but The only
