With an outboard bearing you don't ruin the bearing to change the wheel. The bearing is held together by the axle end cap. When you remove the "end cap bolts" the bearing will come off the axle leaving only the seals to be replaced.I'm not sure of wheel life over on Metro-North but at NYCT, wheels are supposed to last for the 6-year cycle of the truck. Journal bearings are usually rebuilt and re-used when the truck goes through SMS. |
