Re: [FWDLK] Bearing Stuck



You should clean up the spindle and inspect it closely for any wear marks or tool marks in the bearing race area, the inner race should be a close fit on the spindle and it would not take much of a ding in the surface to make things too tight. A light polishing of the bearing area with a strip of emery cloth will do no harm and will make things slide easier.

Hi List -

I am doing the brakes on my 58 Ply. When I pulled the drums a couple of
years ago, before remounting I installed brand new  inner and outer
bearings, as well as the inner seal, and then greased everything.  Today,
when I went to remove the front drums, one had difficulty coming off. When I
finally removed it, the seal and inner bearing remained on the steering
knuckle. I had great difficulty removing the bearing but eventually got it
off (will probably replace it, considering it's importance). Why would a
brand new bearing get stuck like this ? Poor manufacture ? The other side
came off with no problem.
