Anyone done front wheel bearings?

Post by MexicanGringo » Wed Nov 17, 2010 11:39 am

Hey all, just put in some new front wheel bearings, following the haynes instructions.

Put in left bearing first, it goes in about a mil deeper than the right, with the spacer stopping the right from going in any deeper.

When the seals go in, the right seal is flush and the left is inset about a mil... Is this normal? Im concerned the wheel is going to be offset to the left now.
