Thread: Ball joint replacement height of swivel

There's detailed instructions in RAVE on this issue. We've also had a deal of comment back n forth on this issue.. you need to do a search on the internal forum Google search. Not in any way trying to fob u off.. just that there's a lot of useful info including care needed replacing the axle. Without the special tool it's a bit of a guess. However if you measure the height with a set of vernier calipers prior to removing, that will assist a lot. It's not a job for the faint hearted good luck! BTW if u search rr.net there's a detailed account with plenty of pics.

Re. the wheel bearings. You can purchase the bearing set after market from a bearing supplier. Rr.net search in the part re. Common problems and fixes iirc has some part numbers. However you might also need a 20 tonne press to remove/reinstall. Are u sure they are in need of repair/replacement? Each side is about $100 Aus at least for the bearings...
Good luck with it.

Thanks, I did do a search before posting, all I could seem to find was that a special tool was required, and other than measuring it before hand, I couldn't find any thing else. I'm doing another search right now. Yeah, I saw I can buy the bearings separate, but seeing all the reports, I figured that it isn't even worth trying. For what it would cost me to have them pressed out, Then find the the hub has bent, its not even worth trying.
