Rear Wheel Bearing - Removal Revision
NO.: TSB-96-27-004
DATE: September, 1996
MODEL: 1992-95 Expo AWD
SUBJECT:
EXPO REAR WHEEL BEARING REMOVAL
PURPOSE
The Service Manual procedure for removing a rear wheel bearing on an Expo AWD model requires that the rear control arm be removed first. However,
the rear wheel bearing can be removed easily with the control arm in place. Since the alternate bearing removal procedure is not covered thoroughly in
the service manual, this bulletin provides the information needed to perform the operation.
Write the TSB revision number in the "TSB Revision Box" at the bottom of the affected service manual pages to refer to this bulletin.
