Suzuki Samurai/ 4x4 Hubs? Front wheel Bearing Question
Ok years ago, I replaced wheel bearings and found it to be a fairly easy
project on a totally different car. Now Trying it with my Suzuki, I am hesitant to proceed without instructions or a better understanding of the proceedure. My question follows After removing the wheel, there are several bolts in reducing sleeves holding the 4x4 locking hubs. I removed these bolts but the hub assembly did not separate. Do i pry them off expecting this to be normal? or is there another proceedure required before this part will come off? ( will this simple removal leave me with a hand full of springs and parts that I will never get back together again?) I am hoping that the answer is the first one, please let me know your opinions/experiences with the rest of the job as well please. -- My toys! Where are my toys? I can't do this job without my toys! |

You have likely encountered "cone washers", I have some tips on removing them on my front axle rebbuild page: http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/CheapTri...eWasherRemoval -- Roger |
