When I did the front axle I noticed the wheels were hard to turn when I had the car on a stand. I decided to pull the wheel bearings off and also check the U-joints on the two axles.





Getting the nut off the axles was a PITA. I tried with an extension arm and jumped on it with my 110 kgs (thats 242 lbs for the metrically impared) It didn’t bulge a bit. Off to the local toystore where I found a 460 NM impact driver. That did the job

I got everything apart. The wheel bearings looked OK. The U-joint did not. I could hardly move them. Next day new joints came, and I installed those. Cleaned everything. Painted the wheel bearing hubs red, and put everything back together. I also greased all grease points I could find.





In my silent mind I was hoping this would cure the knocking/skipping sound in 4H/2L. It did not
