I have a couple of questions to the list for their expertise in this area. The
rear right side bearing is making an excessive whine at 3000 rpms. The left
side is not so bad. I also noticed after putting on new Dayton wire wheels
that there seems to be a little run-out on the right side.
My questions are:
1. can the rear bearings come out without removing the axles after the bearing
housing is removed? I have a custom made hub puller that bolts to the original
hub with harden bolts.
2. does the bearing housing typically need to be replaced besides the bearing
& seal? Victoria British sells the bearing, seal & bearing housing as a kit
for $60.00 each, bearings alone are 45.00 each plus 5.00 for the oil seal.
Anyone ever use their kits?
3. Since right rear hub has some run-out can a machine shop plane this and
correct the run-out? Am I better off trying to locate a good used one? Does
any one have one available that is reasonable price?
Thanks in past for the help,
Regards
Ibsen
