[T3] Rear Bearings

[maroblll at coqui.net]

Adam,
Where were you back in 07/13/2015?  Asked the same question and got the
same answer, no only from Jim but from Bob as well.  I honestly don't
see where the difficult part lies but better safe than sorry.  And it's
not just them, is basically everybody agreeing on it.  I mean, about the
most difficult mechanical feat I've been able to accomplish is swapping
a V-8 w/tranny from a '77 Monte Carlo  to a '73 Malibu station wagon.  I
guess that's like a walk in park compared to this.  Who wants to buy a
pair of rear wheel bearings for a '65 Squareback?  I'm kidding, I'm
keeping them until I really need them.

Subject: [T3] Rear Bearings 

My rear bearings on the passenger side are a little squeaky. Because of
this, I bought a new seal kit and set of bearings to replace BOTH sides.
Before I do the job, I had a couple of questions.

1. Will a bearing puller be necessary? They show one in the brown
Bentley,
but I didn't know if it was a necessity.

2. The Bentley says nothing about packing the bearings on install. Am I
to
assume that these bearings are lubricated by the 80*/90 in the gear box?

3. Any pointers going in that anyone would recommend?

This will be my first time messing with a swing axle car. I have had one
in
the past, but I never had any issues with the rear. I just wanted to get
some direction before I got started.

Adam
