rear wheel bearings

[holyravioli]

on my 70 bus in order to do the rear wheel bearings do i take them out from the back of the drum (remove the axle) or from the front, ive never done the rear bearing on these before. thanks.

remove big nut, drum, halfshaft, stub shaft, seal, circlip, bearings. Check the Bentley for a diagram. are you sure the bearings are your problem?

well when im slowing down i get this loud screetching hissing type noise hard to describe reminds me of bearings, i know its not the drums dragging cause i checked, and i know its not the axles because i replaced both of those, so im left with the bearings. i only hear it when im slowing down, foot on the brake or not. thanks for any help.

It wouldn't be the backing plate, would it? BTW, that axle nut is a @#&%* to get off, isn't it
