Bearings and brakes, replacement...
Posted: Sat Mar 10, 2018 4:38 pm
I finally got to my front end redo. When I got this Vanagon, the front right wheel was frozen solid, so I pulled it then and added some noname grease...
Here we are 5 years later, with a little noise from the left front. Add to the bearings deeply pitted front rotors, and it was time for a refresh. So, new bearings, rotors, pads, and good semisynthetic grease took up most of the afternoon.
BUT...I know I put the grease seals in way too deep. It didn't occur to me as a problem until after the whole thing was buttoned up.
The bug got a new odometer gear today, too...getting the bulbs back in the correct holes was hilarious. Either the dude writing the Bentley wiring diagram or I am color blind...
Turn signal? Nope, flashing oil pressure...
