Front Wheel Bearing Cap

[Minuit]

It's always the simplest things... :hmm:

 

I'm in the middle of a brake job/wheel bearing replacement on my '91 2wd (so no unit bearings) and I can't figure out how to get this stupid dust cap off. The FSM is of no help here. Any suggestions? It's the cap the goes over the entire hub assembly.

A small flat head screw driver between the cap and rotor and twist it off . If it still won't move hit the screw driver lightly with a hammer .

I always pull them off with a BPC.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(BIG Pair of Channel-Locks)  :yes:  If that doesn't work you can rent one of these at Autozone.

Got them out with a screwdriver+hammer eventually. Oddly enough the driver side was much easier, that's the side that's never been worked on apparently. Thanks guys for the quick responses!
