Rear Hub install

[dvu101]

I have a BT7 and just finished putting in new seals in my rear hubs and had the bearings pressed back in.

What is the beat way to get the hubs back on the car?

I used the axle reversed and a gear puller to get it off.

Thanks in advance.

Freudian slip?

You can use a mallet and drift, but only use impact on the inner race. Ideally, you'd have a piece of tube laying around with the appropriate id/od.

I don't remember mine requiring that much force to remove/replace...

Ok thanks. I had to use a lot of force to get it off. But now that it is all cleaned up and painted, maybe it will just slip on. Ha.

I think it was just tired that night when I wrote beat.

Thanks Scott
