I am replacing my wheel rotor bearings (inner and out) and I would like advice about the racers the bearings ride in. The rebuild kit includes replacement racers but the current installed racers loo

You should definitely, without question, replace the races when replacing the bearings. It's very simple to knock out the old race. Lay the rotor and hub assembly down and, with a bright light, look

To complement what Greg is saying: when installing the new race, use the old one to drift it in. Rick O. 72 TR6

I surrender! Yes, I have replaced the racers and with primitive tools mind you. I've never tackled this job before and so I was very uncertain about the process. The baby is back on the road again a

Great timing Al... I am doing the same thing tonight. One additional question. I have bead blasted and painted all my suspension pieces. Before blasting and painting, I removed all the grease that wa

ALL of the old grease should be removed prior to putting the new bearings into the hubs. Everything should be "clean and new looking" before assembly. Old grease will contaminate the new grease and

Hi Steve, So you are saying that 2 or 3 fingers of grease in the interior cavity of the hub -- in the area between the bearing races is sufficient? That's not a lot of grease compared to what was the

The gobs of grease in the inside of the hub does basically nothing. You want to make sure that the bearings are greased completely by "pushing" the grease through _both ways_ and then slowly turning

Don--Many years ago the tech editor of the 6PACK Newsletter showed us a way of greasing the inside wheel bearing without taking everything apart. It included drilling and tapping for a Zerk fitting i

Hi Bob, Before I bead blasted the hubs, I soaked them in gasoline for about a week. I removed all the grease. They were dry and clean. I then packed the hubs with paper, and neatly cover the front an

Hi Dick, Nope, this car is as original as they come. I'm the original owner and nothing like that was done. I don't even remember new brakes or repacking the wheel bearings, but I'm not completely su
