In Reply to: 78 power wagon front hub flange bolts posted by JERRY LOGSTON on Monday, August 27, 2001 at 9:11PM :
Hi Jerry,
I just went through the front of my '78 trailduster, I took the six bolts out to remove the rotor/drive flange/bearings/bearing retainer, then had the whole thing pressed apart to change the bearings.
While at the auto shop to press the bearings apart, we looked at a manual and it showed the rotor/drive flange being pulled off the truck with a puller. The bearings and bearing retainer were left on the spindle. Then you took out the six retainer bolts to remove the bearings.
If you were able to get the rotor/flange pulled off, you'd have nice access to the six bearing retainer bolts. I suspect you'd have a very, very hard time pulling the rotor/flange out of the bearings, but it looks like that was the way the manual recommended.
Something to think about anyway.
Email if you need help,info, whatever. I know I was very confused when I tried to get mine apart.
good luck,
mark
