I've only done the rear bearings - my biggest spot of advice is that when the specs for that rear axle nut say 360 foot lbs. they mean it!!! The first time I did the bearings we tightened that nut as tight as we could get it and called it good - well let me tell you it is not good. When I redid the job because of my dumb "that's good" moment (which I will admit was partially influenced by others) I was sure to borrow a proper torgue wrench and do it properly. Thanks, Jeff '85 GL (Gertie) '78 Bus (Melissa) Patty's Bus
