Bought my '78 244 with a slight vibration & disconcerting "whuppawhuppa" noise in the front end. Seller said "I dunno, I think the front brakes are gone." I investigated & found the pass. caliper had a blown piston seal. I had recently had the same failure on my '84, so no problem. (OF COURSE they weren't the same caliper...)

Anyway, that wasn't it; it later became obvious the bearing was smoked. I've done outer bearings before, easy enough, but I've heard that inner bearings on these need to be "pressed in". Can I do this in my yard? If so, what tools will I need?

Thanks,
Matt
