Subject:      Rear Bearing Help and bulb
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hi all,

Today's project was going to be the left rear bearings, both inner and
outer. They have been making quite a ruckus for the past few weeks.  I
have started the project and have encountered a problem... how much do i
need to take off and the sequence?  Bentley isn't very clear on this, He
does have a nice picture of a clean bearing housing.

1.  Do i have to drop the CV joint?

2.  Removing the bearing hub... do i leave all the rear break hardware
attached?

3.  does any have the line on drop light bulbs.  I seem to be going
through them like paper towels at the annual county bearing packing
contest, just a simple nudge when it is hot and it goes out.  Any ideas
on this?

TIA
