any trick to re-packing the front wheel bearings? never did it before on the MF165, and was wondering if I need to buy new seals from dealer befoer i try it. The manual don't explain, I assume the hub covers spins off. How does bearings come out and any other advice? thanks

Hello Roger,
First of all make sure that the metal shields are in place at the back of the wheel spindle. They cover the back of the hub and keep a lot of rubbish out. If you remove the hubs you will need to remove the caps first, then the split pins and nuts. The hub will come off now. Prise the seal in the back out and that will release the inner bearing. If you need to remove the bearings you will find two recesses in the hub to allow the use of a suitable punch to tap out the rings. Refitting is easy as long as you make sure the ring goes in 'square'. Check the bearing cages for wear and general looseness. If in any doubt replace the bearings. They will be available from any bearing supplier or you can buy a genuine or non-genuine kit which includes the seal. Tap the seal into place and fit the outer bearings, washers and nuts. Adjust the hub with the nut so that you have only a minute amount of play in the hub (ie, the next slot will be too tight) and splitpin up. Whilst you are in this far it would be worth checking the thrust bearings at the bottom of the kingpins. If you have a gap of more than 1/8" under the steering arm at the top of the kingpin they will probably need replacing. You may have bearings or flat wear rings fitted. Renewing or greasing either will probably make your steering a lot easier. If the bearing collapses on removal make sure that you remove the upper part which will remain in the kingpin housing (axle). Cheers
DavidP
