M151 Experts:
I need help in diagnosing a slight "wobble" in my M151 rear wheels. By
grasping the top and bottom and/or front/rear of the tire, there is a
noticeable 1/16" to 1/8" of "wobble" at the outside edge of the tire. I
tried tightening the wheel bearings slightly, but the wobble is still
there. No movement of the hub assembly in or out, just side to side.
Is this normal, or do the wheel bearings need replacing? Advice would
be appreciated before tearing the wheels apart, especially if new
bearings won't make any difference. Also, can the bearings and races be
serviced/replaced without removing the entire assembly from the axle
supports, as shown in the service manual? Thanks all.
