Grinding in rear wheels????

stahrman85 · 08-08-2009, 11:48 AM

I have this grinding in my rear wheels when I turn corners and seems like when I have some extra weight on my 1985 electric ez go. Do these carts have wheel bearings on them? It kind of sounds like when my truck wheel bearings were shot. Thanks guys for any help!!!!

How hard is it to change the rear wheel bearings? What all is involved??

remove the wheel and the break drum that may be the hardest part inside the axle tube there is a c clip that has to be removed if the drum comes off easy spray it with penetrating oil and put it back on inside out and tighten the nut after the clip is removed.making sure the hum hits the axle tube do this by hand the bearing is A tight fit the nut with the drum on inside out will start pulling the axle out when it gets hard stop and back the nut off and remove the hub with any luck it will pull the rest of the way out at least this is the way i do it
