Front wheel bearing /hub change. Question
« on: 30 August 2020, 07:29:55 »
hi All      doing a front hub change this morning .  From what I can see, the guide in the maintenance section does not seem to show the actual removal of the old hub after removing necessary brake parts etc. , only "driving" the new one on .  Question is  . . .is a puller required for this , or will it just "tap" off from behind ?  TIA    Al  :y

If it doesn't just slide off, something is badly wrong

Once the hub nut is removed it should slide off.

They're more complicated than is necessary, but there are worse jobs.
