97 760 front bearing replacement 700 1987

posted by  someone claiming to be 240austin on  Thu Feb 21 12:46 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I am replacing the front wheel bearing on my 87 760 (without ABS?,
it has two brake lines to the girling calipers)
Do anyone know what size the caliper mounting bracket allen bolts are and
where are new allen bolts sold. Are there socket allen wenches,in order
to properly torque the bolts?
The front left side makes a humming/grinding sound, and I checked the front
outer bearing.
I have a 1987 760 wagon with 155,000 miles.
Thanks
phil

    The humming is caused by the pads acting on the rotors. The glide pin lubrication is gone and the assembly is sticking. Make sure the rubber boots are not damaged and there is plenty of lubrication. R&R as necessary.

    The socket head Allen bolts are 10mm internal hex. I use a 10mm bit on a 1/2" drive socket set. An Allen wrench will work, but you will want a piece of pipe for a cheater handle.
