[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]Hello,
I'm pretty new to this site and new to the DS family. I purchased a 2000 model about a month ago and I love it! I need to change the front wheel bearings but when I removed the tires, king nut, and caliper, the hubs do not slide off. I tried tapping the back of the hub a bit but didn't want to wack anything too hard for fear of bending something. How do these come off? Do they need to be pressed off or am I just a whimp? I tried to take off both sides and they are not moving. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Gotta get her done before this weekend.

 

Be harder on them....they just slide off.

 

do have any type off "puller" ? or try getting a pry bar behind the hub just to break them loose.

 

There is an o-ring just on the inside of the hub on the spindle. Spray a dab of wd in there and pull, it will slide right over.

Ok, I'll try the trick witht the WD. I did try to use a pully puller but it didn't seem to help. I also tried a steering wheel puller but theat was too small. I will try the pry bar method as well. Thanks for all your input

They should be able to come off pretty easily just takes a little bit of effort...If you can't get them off and have to resort to air tools then I would, but that is only if you tried everything else because you might indent the hubs.

 

Got them off last night. Sprayed lube inside and got a bigger puller and they came right off.

When installing I would put antisieze on the hub splines next time they will slide rite off.

 

Ok I'll do that. Would axle grease be ok?
