Bearing Puller Atlanta

[George Z]

Just got a call from the Pickle. Looking to borrow a front hub bearing puller near Atlanta.
Any ideas out there?

George,
Get on the Black List, as you'll find listing of several that list that
they have the tool.

I'll give Andy a buzz. I've still got one for loan.

He called me and I sent him to George Z. Seems the Dixielanders one is out on loan. Black List is the move. I told hum, if his mechanic has done
this before, the universal kit which the parts houses loan out will probably work.

Andy, depending the condition of the hubs after the bearings are out, decide if you might want Dave Lenzi's modified hubs. Lst time you'll need to do
anything but grease them.

The options are, replace the front end parts with one of the kits which attaches components from GM built one ton trucks, or replace bearings and
seals now and again, or modify the existing hub for a grease fitting - which is what Lenzi does. More importantly, he puts new metal in the bore and
then takes it to spec size with a grinder, which results in a smooth continuous surface to interfere with the bearing outer race, which is much longer
lived than the OEM which has very small hills and valleys due to being cut instead of ground. The result is a greasable hub which should last the
life of the coach...

Some like one, some like the other. I'm ambivalent, although both mine have had stock. Either one represents a front end rebuild done properly.
