    Bearing repack/ rotor replacement write up

    I've done some searching, but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Did someone, fairly recently, do a big write up on repacking their front bearing, or replacing their rotor? I'm planning on doing both in the very near future, and it would be nice to have something to refer to as I go.

    I have that on my list of front end maintenance, as well as CV boots.

    I'll be doing the work soon, and I'll take some pics and do another "tips" post when I do.

    Hopefully I will get to it before you do!
    Sold the VX 11-21-07. It was fun while I had it!
    Thanks for all the help.

    Yeah, thank you Kenny for the great write up.

    I was doing my rotors and brake pads and had to search for this post earlier tonight. I also had to run out at 9:30 to buy an impact driver to get that retaining ring out. What are those screws made of? Lead maybe?

    My rear axle seal is also busted, so my VX will be up on blocks for a couple more days...but when I'm finished my set up will look a lot like Kenny's.
