Installing Front Wheel Bearings




Hi->>

>>

The archives have plenty of information on removing the
front bearing races, but I couldn’t find much on reinstalling them.
In the absence of special Amphicar tools, how do you get the races to seat
properly. I assume they are supposed to fit against shelf in the
hub. Between corrosion and nicks and dents on the axle from removing the inner
bearing by cutting and chiseling, the new inner bearing doesn’t fit.
I assume I’ll have to grind and/or polish the axle until the bearing
fits. How do you know how far it needs to go on the axle?>>

Any help will be appreciated.>>
