<strong>Bear<strong>in</strong>g</strong> <strong>in</strong> m<strong>in</strong>d! <strong>By</strong> <strong>Paul</strong> <strong>Camilli</strong><br />
If the part of the axle that the seal runs on is worn you can remove it and turn it around. On most<br />
vehicle axles this is part of the stub itself and if worn the axle is scrap. On the B&B chassis however<br />
it is a separate bush that slides over the shaft. It's not obvious at first but careful clean<strong>in</strong>g will reveal<br />
it and gentle priz<strong>in</strong>g with a sharp screwdriver between the bush and backplate should slide it off.<br />
There was actually noth<strong>in</strong>g wrong with the bear<strong>in</strong>gs other than a leaky seal but I removed them<br />
anyway to get the numbers off them for future reference.<br />
