VIEW    READ ONLY    PRINT   SAVE   A    A  front wheel bearing- DIY? 200 1978 posted by  MSW on  Wed Oct 29 12:04 CST 2003 Author: [PROFILE] [EVERY POST] [THREADS] [BEST POSTS]     [IGNORE ALL POSTS] last visit: Mon Jan 21 13:18 CST 2008 [RELATED] Bought my '78 244 with a slight vibration & disconcerting "whuppawhuppa" noise in the front end. Seller said "I dunno, I think the front brakes are gone." I investigated & found the pass. caliper had a blown piston seal. I had recently had the same failure on my '84, so no problem. (OF COURSE they weren't the same caliper...) Anyway, that wasn't it; it later became obvious the bearing was smoked. I've done outer bearings before, easy enough, but I've heard that inner bearings on these need to be "pressed in". Can I do this in my yard? If so, what tools will I need?
