Good Morning list,
My '87 Syncro has been making wheel bearing related noises lately. My
general sense is that it's coming from the rear, but my ears aren't as good
as they once were. The hum/rumble goes away if I steer slightly to the
right. Having never done this, has anyone successfully replaced the rear
bearings using only hand tools? (i.e. G.M. Bulley's method of a hammer, a
drift, and a million taps?). I haven't been able to detect any wheel shake
by hand, so it's time to pull out the shotgun and start firing, one wheel at
a time.
Thanks
Dave
