OK, so how to I remove the front wheel bearing cap? Cars and trailers I am used to hammering the sides all the way around to work it off. This one doesn't want to budge, does it screw off? ------------- Charlie '48 B, '51 CA, '56 WD45 '61 D17, '63 D12, '65 D10 , '68 One-Ninety XTD |

| I think they screw on and off. The hubcaps on my CA screw on/off. You can use the hubcap to force grease into the bearings. |

62 years of rust, should be fun! Hope not to damage the cap. I think I will try one of those rubber strap domajiggers ------------- Charlie '48 B, '51 CA, '56 WD45 '61 D17, '63 D12, '65 D10 , '68 One-Ninety XTD |

You can use a monkey wrench to take off hubcap

If the monkey wrench doesn't work use a pipe wrench. ------------- CA, WD, C, 3 Bs, 2 Gs, WC, I-400, 914 |

I will bet money a "rubber strap domajigger" will not work, a nylon strap wrench might but I would have my doubts. Large Channel locks might work.

I have a big monkey wrench, I was hoping to not bugger the end of the cap up ------------- Charlie '48 B, '51 CA, '56 WD45 '61 D17, '63 D12, '65 D10 , '68 One-Ninety XTD |

Ok, the cap screwed off easy enough. Removed the retaining nut and now I can't slide the hub off. What the heck is holding it on? I tapped it on the back with a sledge but it still doesn't move. ------------- Charlie '48 B, '51 CA, '56 WD45 '61 D17, '63 D12, '65 D10 , '68 One-Ninety XTD |

| Charlie, after the nut is a washer, that should come off pretty easy. Next is the outer bearing cone. These get stuck pretty often. tap all around it a few times and then try to take the hub off. |

I dug out all the grease and will try to tap the cone tonight. Thanks for the insight ------------- Charlie '48 B, '51 CA, '56 WD45 '61 D17, '63 D12, '65 D10 , '68 One-Ninety XTD |

You know, when I did that some 60 years ago and the tractors were relatively new we used a Ford Monkey Wrench. You had to get a very good grip since the hub nut is rather slipery. They were tough to do then. I can just imagine how tough now.
However, the tools are so much better. I thought I had died and gone to heaven when Vice Grips were invented. We could clamp the three joint pieces the bagger whent on.
In any event
Good Luck!
