yellowoctupus Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Wow. That's what I'm trying now. Can't wait to try putting the new one in from the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowoctupus Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Got it out. Although I knew how it was put in, with that 'stop lip' keeping the bearing in the hub bore, I think I may have been beating on the machined lip, not the bearing itself. D'oh. BTW, this is what I used as a slide hammer to pull the stub axle out, as my bodywork slide hammer was not up to the job. It's a motorcycle axle with the same thread as the wheel studs. Many lug nuts are not made from a solid piece of steel, but they are rather 'capped'. You can just squish the cap off in a vice, then thread on the lug nut 3/4" and still have 3/4" of threads to put the mtcy axle in. Has anyone else noticed the factory grease is a light blue?? What is up with that? And an FYI for folks painting things all 'superstock' like. Only the front half of the caliper is painted yellow from the factory. Weird. Like yellow paint is so expensive they could only do one side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
