Good evening All, My Van was acting strange on the way home tonight. My left front was making noises and by the time I got near my home, it would actually drag the left front. I saw grease from the grease cover too. I had trouble with the front caliper (same side) so I looked at that first. Jacked the Van up, pulled the wheel, Caliper looked fine. Put the Van down, looked at both back wheels and pulled drums to check brakes. Then I thought, it was definitely the front... Jacked the front back up and grabbed the wheel on the top and pulled... "wiggle, wiggle, wiggle"... I said "Oh no". Pulled the grease cap and metal shavings all over. Blew out my front bearings. Here comes the request for assistance... Bentley tells me I need a "copper drift" to do the front bearings. I don't have one. Do I really need it and could someone point me to a web page that has the front bearing procedure on it? Thank you and Merry Christmas.
