RE: IML: 66 imperial rear wheel bearings



Marty,

 

I actually ordered all my front-end stuff and the rear wheel bearings from www.kanter.com .  They seem to have a pretty good selection of stuff for the older cars.  Not sure if anyone else has dealt with them, but my experience was a good one.

Marty,

 

I just replaced the rear axle bearings on my ’67 and they also had to be chiseled off.  It wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be.  A good hand grinder (a Makita for me) and a sharp hard chisel are a must.  But after you get the old ones off you need a way to get the new ones on the axle.  I have a 12 ton press (available from Harbor Freight tools for about $100) which made installing the new bearings a breeze.  Plus the press came in pretty handy for changing out the lower ball joints up front.

hi imperial enthusiasts:

 

anyone ever replaced the rear axle bearings on a 66 crown?  it looks like a big job in the FSM.  are these bearings available?  the FSM shows a bearing retaining collar which need to be chiseled off.  is this thing available also?

 

after i replace these bearings, i will have replaced all 5 including the center support bearing.  i have never had such a bearing problem on a classic car like on this car.  is this a typical problem on these cars?

 

thanks
