hey, i tried using "search" but i'm one of those silly squirrels that can't use it properly . i need info on taking off the hub and changing the front wheel bearing on my 88 sj51,i am new to 4w4's and sierras,would think it'd be pretty simple. Ive undone the 10mm bolts and taken out the hub lock and undone the 12mm bolts, the assembly only moves off the disc hub about 3mm is there something else holding it? i didn't want to force it off, is there a link to any threads or anyone that can help, cheers.

c clip on the end of the cv.
Check the pic, after the front of the hub is removed. There should be acces to the c clip, remove this.
Then remove the 12mm bolts on the next bit of the hub, and pull this off.
And it should all come apart from there

thanks mate had another look tonight after work and seen that c-clip, the bearing just fell apart once i got to it. and thanks for the offer bohuler but i live in Portland its a small town think its about four and a half hours from the centre of melbs. alot of people come here from melbourne and all over for tuna fishing but other then that you may not have heard of it.

Nothing wrong with living out of the city I'm an hour from the CBD and its still damn close :p If you have a boat and can take me fishing I wouldn't mind the drive to help you out!
