Title: Front wheel bearing /hub change. Question
Post by: Alnico Blue on 30 August 2020, 07:29:55

hi All      doing a front hub change this morning .  From what I can see, the guide in the maintenance section does not seem to show the actual removal of the old hub after removing necessary brake parts etc. , only "driving" the new one on .  Question is  . . .is a puller required for this , or will it just "tap" off from behind ?  TIA    Al  :y

If it doesn't just slide off, something is badly wrong

Once the hub nut is removed it should slide off.

They're more complicated than is necessary, but there are worse jobs.

Iirc the front hub nit needs doing up to around 300nm. Hope Alnico is aware of this.  :-\
