Preparing for Your Metal Bearing Upgrade
Tips
• Carefully count and set aside screws while disassembling so you can properly reassemble your car later.
• Bearings can be fitted in place in either direction.
• Be careful that the lead solder joints inside the car do not become detached.
• You may find it useful to remove the antenna from the chassis.
