[Tigers] Wheel Bearings

[Tony Somebody]

At worst you should have to do is clean the spindles, use some lubricant, get
them moving back and forth and then off the will come- the outer will be the
easiest in all likelihood but surely someone greased them before now or they
would have seized up as the grease would have dried up after 40 plus years . I
like Brake Kleen to remove everystuff but dint get it on U as it goes straight
for your liver. Good rubber gloves will stop it but hospital type, it will
eat.

I'm planning on replacing the front wheel bearings, which are in all
likelyhood, the originals, still with original grease.  First time I've
done this.

I have the new bearings and seals.  My question is, how easily do the
bearings come off the spindles?  Have you found them to come off easily,
or have you needed a separator to free them?
