Front Wheel Bearing Q, I have searched, and read, still have quest Options

[sdoolin]

Have read through the thread:

Front Wheel Bearing Service

My car (1973) does not have "slots" such that I can drive out the inner bearing race (see step 11 in 5th post). If I remove brake backing plate I can most likely drive the inner race off.

But (also) in steps 13 & 14 it seems like the inner race is being driven into the rotor, and it appears to me that one would drive the inner race onto the stub axle, then place the rotor over that and then proceed with outer bearing?

Help?

Different areas to watch out for.

On the flat where the race seats is from removal. The "impacting tool " catches the edge of the hub and leaves a high spot on the flat. These are easy to fix using and old race cut (so its smaller) and valve grinding compound or lapping compound to knock down the ridge.

Galling on the side where races where pounded in or did not go in straight. They are known to shave or gall material which ends up in a burr under the race preventing it from seating flat.

I've seen so many of these I always ask 'notice any vibration or balance issue"?
When I show someone the burr they always go ah ha. If you don't know what you are looking at you wont see it.
