Re: 1937er Packard 120 convertible rear wheel bearing tips

I just did this job on my ‘37 120. The axle shafts pull out easily. I believe I only needed a few taps of a slide hammer. I had a harder time getting the seals out. I ended up making a puller - there are details on my 120 blog if you’re also doing that task.

Be advised, the bearings are a special sealed type made of unobtanium. They went to a more standard tapered roller bearing in ‘38.
