Subject:      Front disc replacement - '85 Vanagon
Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed


OK, I'm embarking on major surgery to replace the front brake discs on my
'85 (with a new set), and am somewhat stumped by the replacement of the
inner wheel bearings/spacers/seals.


As usual, the Bentley manual shows some special VW tools (which I don't
have) for pressing stuff into the new hubs. I searched the archives, but
came up empty for tips on this phase of the job. Here are my questions:


        1. Is it possible to get all this out/back in again without special tools?
        2. Does anyone have a helpful link to a web page that describes it?
        3. Are there any parts in here that should always be replaced? I know the
peened nut on the outside needs to be replaced (and I have shiny new
replacements for them).


Thanks for any help, tips or encouragement


Tim
