Club 80-90 Forums

Hi all, sorry I'm back again, I have just removed the rear hub on my 1986 T3 Syncro and it looks as if the wheel bearing has been running very hot and there is also a small amount of play.
I've undone the four bolts that hold the bearing housing.
I need to know how the bearing comes off the drive shaft and does the bearing have to be pressed out of its housing.

Many thanks

I just usually tap the hub off with a club hammer after I tap the drive shaft in abit before I take the backing pate off.

Here is a how to video, it might be of help . http://campervanculture.com/2011/07/jed ... on-syncro/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Great link thanks

Its always better to press bearings in and out. Tapping them in and out can damage the bearing housing surface and its becoming apparent that these housings are a wearing part on a Syncro.
