Hi peoples. Has anyone done wheel bearings on a gc8?

I have replaced bearings and seals and there is a lot of slop/play in the wheel..

Is there a special punch or press that needs to be used?

Cheers matt

these are unitized bearings, and yes a largish press is required for the job, some take up to 4tonne of pressure, And a know how of how to do it is also required =P

yeah didnt open for me... but yeah you need a press to do the job! sometimes they are seized on the hub quite well so we need to heat them up with the oxy! i would personally be doing them at a workshop!

sometimes its just easier to swap hub assemblies instead!

may have a bearing that could be on its way out, so "may" not be the most efficient solution

just swap the hub and make sure the driveshaft nut is done up tight

The bearings in a gc8 are rubbish and if you do a bit of track work they need to be replaced half regularly. It is not a big job if you take the hubs into someone like MMS.
