Re: [Chevelle-list] Front wheel bearings

Thanks for the responses...I did figure out that for some reason the nut is bottoming out on the threads before the washer is pushed tight against the outer bearing. So needless to say, the rotor is WAY too loose even with the spindle nut as tight as you can get it. I am not sure why I guess,

Re: [Chevelle-list] Front wheel bearings

Ryan, You should have very little to no rock at your spindle bearings. Just tight enough to eliminate this play. It is not unusual to have to readjust this after driving awhile also. Mike - Original Message - From: langus To: Chevelle Chat Forum Sent: Wednesday, January 24, 20

Re: [Chevelle-list] Lock out cable

I believe he is referring to the reverse lockout cable used in the Muncie shifters 64-67.If that is what he is looking for I may have a couple left but will have to check. 15 years ago I had about 30 of them made and sold most of them. It took forever to sell them so I never had anymore made.

Re: [Chevelle-list] 1965 Chevelle 15" Wheels & Covers?

Available? Yes in the aftermarket, no from Chevrolet. Tire sizes for 1965 Chevelles included 6.95x14, 7.35x14 and 7.75x14. The full size car had 15-inch wheels (15x5 or 15x5.5 for police cars) in 65 according to my parts book. There was also a 3-bar spinner wheel cover available on the full size

Cut them off at the end of the heater core stub, then slice the hose lengthwise with a razor blade or utility knife, separate the cut with a small screwdriver & slide 'em off. BillL At 08:39 PM 1/24/2007, you wrote: Does anyone know an easy way to remove the firewall end of heater hoses w

Re: [Chevelle-list] 1965 Chevelle 15" Wheels & Covers?

Not stock there wasn't. Chevelles didn't get 15" wheels until '71 I think. I'm not well versed on the later models. I'm sure you could put a 15" wheel on a '65 though. Hopefully Clint will chime in, he's the wheel & tire guru. 8-) BillL At 08:14 PM 1/24/2007, you wrote: Hi Guys, 1. Wa

Re: [Chevelle-list] Front wheel bearings

Yep, it'll wiggle. If it doesn't then the bearing preload is too tight. When you drive the car, the bearings will warm up, the hub will get hot from brake applications and if the bearing's too tight it won't have room to expand & will burn up. BillL At 06:37 PM 1/24/2007, you wrote: I just g
