Re: 91 Wagoneer Wheel bearing replacement problems
 

Impact driver won't move it - damn that thing is on tight.
I'll have go with a steel punch tomorrow, but it is looking like a drill and
chisel job.

It also looks seriously chewed on the face - probably due to the absence of
that
spring.

Re: 91 Wagoneer Wheel bearing replacement problems
 

I'm positive it is the right one, although the tool Im using was advertised
for a Ford Bronco/Wagoneer. It's a perfect fit for the replacement locknut
that the dealer supplied (marked Wagoneer), but this nut as you can see from
the photos is badly mashed , so it fits but somewhat loosely. It didn't pop
out when whacked with the impact driver. I've got a new punch to try, but
I'm convinced it's going to have to be a drill/chisel job.

Hi Dave,
I'm not understanding your problem, the outer lock nut is just over
finger tight, if we torqued it much tighter, say at ten pounds would
shear the little interlocking pin that sits crossways in the keyed
washer between the nuts: http://77cj.littlekeylime.com/Mr.N44.htm

Re: 91 Wagoneer Wheel bearing replacement problems
 

Bill,
Thanks for the link - always good to see another few photos.

Yes, you understood me - it is the outer locknut is the one I can't remove.

The part in your link says "A screw driver is placed in the reses of the
nut, and a hammer hits it. This is done several times to losen the nut
untill removed.Tip: Buy a Axle Nut socket if your doing this more and a
couple times"

If you look in my link ( http://www.brintsoft.com/dave/retainer1.jpg ) you
will see how chewed up it is with someone else's efforts with screw drivers
and hammers. Also, something has worn the crap out of the face of it (
compare it to the one in your link
http://77cj.littlekeylime.com/images...nut_washer.jpg )
..
Well, I've got the tool and it ain't budging. Not even with an impact driver
on the socket, and I hit it hard.

btw, I thought it was the *inner* locknut that has the pin that locates in
the "axle nut washer" ?

Dave
