Hi guys, i'know, it's been a while since i've posted but, my H3 is still running. A little more lifted and new Coopes STT Pro, still 315/75/16.
Have to change my front wheel bearings +hubs so tomorrow, gonna wrench a little.
Hope you fellas are all fine.
Cheers

 

 

Nice. I like the Cooper STTs, great tires.

 

A good job done today, changed my front bearings + hubs. A hard job without something to pull out the hubs. Finally the big hammer did it .... my 3 is ready for the next 100k km

 

Will it be that long before you post again?
Btw, your "Coopes STT Pro" will not be effective, long before 100k km ( 62+k miles)

Glad your project worked out.
Is it possible you made a video of that job?
Just asking.

 

Did you read his post? "Finally the big hammer did it"
A wheel alignment is highly recommended!!

 

oh i didn't hit it so hard, my alignment is ok. Sorry but i didn't make a video of it. you'll need a big hammer like 5kg, and tons of de-grip oil and.... patience if you don't have a hub extractor, home made or so. few hits left , right and down and all the hub assembly comes out WITHOUT braking!
all the rest is peanuts

 

But if this can help:
loose center nut of your wheel
loos all the wheel nuts
lift up the side and secure the truck, before working on it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
loose ABS line and brake line (but not disconnect break line)
loose brake caliper and disc.
loose the 3 screws holding the hub+bearing.

After that good luck with degrip oil and the 10 pound hammer and patience.... it comes out.
Use the free space after that to clean all rust off and put some grease arround.
The new bearing-hub will fit like in butter
