jim, I just got everything apart to do wheel maintenance. have you had any
problems getting the inner bearings out. the shop manual says to turn hub
face up and bank out the bearing with a punch. I tried this and it didn't
budge. I was wondering if I pull the seal out will it come out easier. where
can I get all those parts anyway. also did you ever change the shocks? I'm
having trouble finding a matching shock. I have a 1975 31' sovereign. thank
for any help you can give me.

Subject: [VAC] wheel bearings
I did my annual wheel bearing repack and brake adjustment a couple of
weeks ago. It was interesting to find one of the outer bearings with
'spalled' rollers; they looked and felt very rough, probably due to
inadaquet hardening during manufacture. Hard telling how long that
bearing might have gone before failing completely.
Fortunately, I had a spare bearing on hand, so the job wasn't held up
while I ran to NAPA for another.
It had been about 10,000 miles since the last repack.
Moral of the story? Don't neglect those wheel bearings!!
