Well,
I don’t whether to be happy that I took the time to list the part numbers, or sadly dumb because I didn’t take the time to do what I knew to do. On this years tour, I noticed on a safety walk around that the hub cap on the driver tag was hot to the touch. I had replaced the bearings on the passenger side as detailed above but did not change the driver side because they felt ok.
They still felt ok when rotating the wheel, but I ran a magnet in to the hub through the oil fill port and I did not like the metal shavings that came back out.
Amazon got me the bearings and seal in a few days, and I changed them in a KOA in Greensboro NC. I figured better here than the side of I 40.
Lesson relearned. If you change the left headlight because it burned out. Change the right one two. Tag bearings take a beating on our coaches.
All is good, but the mechanic is tired.
