I installed some free wheeling hubs recently and today after my drive home from work, about 15ks, they were really hot to the touch. They where in the free position. Do I need to take them off and grease thm up? Are there bearings in thm? |

Nothing to worry about, your brakes make them hot. |

they shouldn't get that hot with general driving, they can be warm but i wouldn't call it hot. |

You couldnt hold your hand on I recon. Wasn't doing any massive brake stops either? I'm still thinking it could be a warm bearing though. Are there bearings in them? Need grease? They had old grease in them when I put them on. Maybe I should clean them up and repack them? |

Brake problems and wheel bearing problems can cause heat. Warm is ok, but if you go ouch when you touch it, something ain't right |

Are they Aisin hubs? I have pulled apart Aisin and AVM hubs, nether has bearings or any moving parts that would get hot just by going for a drive. The heat is coming from something ells, as others have said I would check brakes and wheel bearings. |

They are standard older model vitara hubs. But that's why I wanted to know. I'll check stuff out! Brakes and bearings... |

I don't think he needs a video on how to rebuild them because there is probably nothing wrong with the hubs... A video on how to check the wheel bearings or looking at a seized caliper would be more useful. |

Wheel bearings or brakes sticking. |
