changing the front wheel bearing 850 1997

posted by  someone claiming to be Hugo on  Sun May 5 05:16 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I'm trying to change the front wheel bearing and can't get the castle nut off. This car (850R) doesn't have the cotter pin. I used the 36 mm socket to loosen the castle nut, but it wouldn't loosen. Is there a special tool or way to take it off?

    The nut has a place that should be dented into a grove (usually done with a punch). This is done instead of cotter pins for the most part now. It takes some work but bending it back makes it a lot easier to remove.

    Hello,
    I just did this same job about a month ago.
    My Castle nut was tight, but with the appropriate
    socket and breaker bar, she broke loose.
    Are you sure you are trying to loosen it the right
    way ? I think it may go opposite of what you think.
    I'll double check....

    Ryan
