What size, of Over sized socket do I need For doing front Bearings?
« on: November 12, 2009, 04:02:20 PM »
In order for me to do the front bearings on my Zuki sidekick 1990 JX I need an Oversized socket and I have tryed alot of places to find out what size so I dont have to buy the hole set and no one knows. Does anyone know what size I need?

Thanks for your time.

I called many parts places and could not get the right one.  I tried the Toyota and chevy one and both were slightly off.  I used a punch and hammer since I could not find the right tool.  Only drawback is that I could not torque it to the recommened specs when I put it back on.  One guy on here made his own, wish he would have been making more for sale.

Got it today.  HOLY SMOKE!  That is one overbuilt piece of kit.

Now, since my manual's are a little inconvenient right now, anybody know what the retaining ring should be torqued to?

I know the FSM says like 155 ft lbs, but crap that's a lot.
I go to about 90 and call it good, and BTW my front wheel
bearings are the original stock ones, and have 290,000 miles
on them, so I think 90-100 works out fine, also less rolling
resistance should help gas mileage, at 155 the hubs don't
turn too easy either, I can't help but think at that tight the
grease gets smashed away from the bearing surfaces
