1) Last year I installed new disks (black one-piece ones). Now I can't seem to remove the disks from the wheel halfs. Suggestions as to how to properly remove them ? I have tried tapping on them, using a puller, etc--no go!
2) I was told not to use automotive type primer like one can get at Home Depot, Lowe's, etc because it is porous and can let moisture get under the primer and result in corrosion of the wheels. Is there another primer other than zinc chromate that is acceptable? Is there any acceptable primer available at local hardware stores?
3) Although I have not experienced a problem, I am curious about the proper sequence of installing the wheel bearings, etc. The sequence I have used is as follows--
On the outer bearing a)lock ring;
a) lock ring
b) felt washer (the one with aluminum washer & felt inside it) w/ felt facing inward;
c) flat metal washer;
d) bearing;
On the inner bearing (back side of wheel)
a) lock ring;
b) flat metal washer
c) flat felt washer (no metal holder)
d) flat metal washer
e) bearing
on the back side or inner side of the bearings there isn't anything to hold grease in them.
Comments/ suggestions would be appreciated.
