[T3] Replacing Real Wheel Bearings

[Dave Hall]

It's an 8mm 12-point.  With the right tool it shouldn't be hard to do,
unless someone has chewed them up already.  You'll find that out when you
try.

Thanks for all the info, folks! So it sounds like I need a 12-point, 6mm
socket head Allen socket to remove those CV bolts, if I want to take them
off. I may just end up regreasing the CV's, leaving the inner rear ball
bearings alone, and replacing the roller bearings since it seems there's a
chance I can get them out. They do have a tad of play in them,
up-and-down-wise. I just have to figure out how to get them out, since only
about 30% of the bearing's outer diameter is exposed after taking off the
top piece that holds the seal. I don't want to bugger them in the off chance
that I can't get them out.

Thanks again!

- Doug :-)
