Hey- yep sorry. An Eriba Puck is a small (10 ft.) aluminum camper
with a fiberglass roof built in Germany beginning in 1958. They still
build them, but they have gotten bulkier and more elaborate,
especially in the last couple decades. Thanks for the reply, the shop
ma aged to get the bearing off by combining torch and grinder. The
spindle came out clean and everything went back together. I still
can't get a good seal on the back of the hub- it has an odd double
washer on back with a spring clip instead of the standard US type
seal and I still lost a good bit of grease but it is not getting hot
and I checked again and still plenty in there. The shop used pressed
in bearings (og ones were as well) but I think these ones are thicker
and cover a groove the spring clip is supposed to snap into. There
are some pics on this photobucket page:
