Smile Day 1

Took my wheels off, hung the calipers, and took wheel hubs apart. Didn't take more than an hour. Of course, there were two types of greases in the bearings...some blue stuff and some black stuff. Sweet, I would have expected nothing more...

Tomorrows task is to replace the brake discs, and start cleaning with mineral spirits. I need to buy a vise big enough to hold the hub, and a lot of mineral spirits. Ill spring for the low odor variety I think.

Ill post some pictures after tomorrows festivities...

Any tips for separating the disc from the hub?

and...why does the FSM make no mention of mandatory bearing repacking when taking the brake disc off??? Just curious.
