I am a visual person (I don't show well, I just like visual presentations)
If you have ever watched the Thoma video on how to replace front wheel
bearings, I think you would agree there is much to learn from a taped
visual presentation. Just how he chucked the hub into the vice, or how to
remove those bolts !! Almost worth the cost of the tool.
I have collected the links to all of the front bearing articles that I know
of using Thoma and Warner tools, and placed them on the "new" section of my
web page. All of you may not have seen what is available in the digital
picture presentations. Take a look and see if what is currently available
might be of use to you.
