Servicing Auto-Hubs

Jul 24, 2003 1 Replies

The service schedule for my 95 Trooper specifies a periodic cleaning and repacking of the front wheel bearings is necessary. At the same time, the free-wheeling hubs should be cleaned and lubed.



I haven't had the thing apart yet, but looking in the manual, this job looks a real pain in the arse.



Is it necessary to strip the whole thing down, or is this job a lot easier than it looks on paper? (Normally, it's the other way around!).



If anyone's done this job, some guidance would be appreciated please?



Thanks.

Thanks Erik-Jan. I've had this apart now, but I only got as far as the hub nut, because you need a special tool to undo that :-(.

How did you get the nut off?
