  • Front hub removal ?

    Hi All!
    I have a 88 Festiva that had the front wheel bearings replaced and the guy that pressed it together got the left front hub too loose and wount redo it. I do have another Festiva for parts and want to swap the front hub out with it. My question is how do I remove the hub? step by step if posable ?

    Thanks for any help!!
    God save me from my fondist wish!!

      Or you could read two posts down.

      Post your Festiva or Aspire repair and maintenance issues. - USE THIS FORUM FOR ANY TECHNICAL RELATED POST (IE. How do I change my oil?, How to remove axle from tranny?, etc)


      I'll be doing a write up in the NEAR future on rebuilding the whole festiva brake system.

                Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.


                The Festy has a tap washer that needs to be locked to retain the hub nut, this may help you to adjust the play correctly, remember if you grease the bearing only fill two thirds of the available space with clean hands...good luck
