Subject: rear wheel bearings

> Hello,
>
> I am in the process of replacing the rear wheel bearings on my air cooled 1982
Westy.  I am pretty far into the job (bearing housing is sitting on my work bench) and
was looking for a little guidance before I really got into the bearings.  Is anyone
aware of a good write up for this job?  I have searched the archives, westfalia.com,
and the type2.com library and I can't find one.

> I'll take this opportunity to say thank goodness for the Schley striker wrench for
the rear axle nut!  I couldn't believe how effective that tool is.  After bending a
3/4' craftsman breaker bar I didn't think I would ever get that nut off!
