I can't find a tech article on the replacing of rear wheel bearings and re packing of CV joints. Does anyone know of a tech article of the same. I replaced the front wheel bearings and while the 914 is up on stands, I might as well complete the project.
Thanks,
L. McChesney

PP has a tech article on the rear bearings install. To remove you need a BFH to get them out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

Check the Haynes manual for anything on the CV joints, it pretty simple but very messy.

Thanks Geoff,
Dave clued me into the PP tech article listed under 5 lug conversion. Got the engine bay empty and a set of bearings arround. Might as well.
Oh, by the way. I understand those SS brackets makes the car go faster (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
As always,
Thanks,

I just did this two weeks ago. I pounded with the BFH I could get my hands on for like two hours. I went borrowed my friends 5lb slide hammer and the hubs came with no more than two slides. Needless to say, I am purchasing a slide hammer.

I just finished assembling my trailing arms and I experienced a small problem with the edge of the hub when pulling it through the bearing on one side. It seems that the lip of the hub was catching on the bearing and wouldn't let it slide in strait. So, I took a small dremmel and smoothed out the lip of the hub and it slid in like butter!

The moral of the story is (if it don't look right....don't force it!)

After you get done, how do you insure that the "Hats" are on straight? The first time I tried, I tightened down the little beveled screws and the disc bound on the caliper (W/o pads, even!) I then just spun and tightened, spun and tightened until I had clearance. Is that the proper way?

I put the drive shaft through and tighten it untill it seats properly then you put the rotors on! If you try to put the rotors on before properly seating the hubs then they will not line up with the calipers!

Thanks all,
Will have to put the beast back on jack stands and get started. Might as well attack the proportioning valve at the same time.

Jeff,

I just got this setup and was wondering what calipers you are using and where you got them. If they are as tight as the seller says I will just POR15 the arms and install them.

QUOTE
914 trailing arms with 5 lug 911 hubs, bigger driveshafts and cv joints. Perfect for v8 or race application. You will need to get the  later, larger 901 transmission hubs or change the inner cv to stock 914 to make this work. Wheel hubs are not  redrilled 914 hubs. All cvs and wheel bearing are tight and boots are good.
