Wheel Bearing Location?

Posted by jacon12 on Sunday, September 4, 2005 4:19 PM

The instructions for my P2K E6 says to lubricate the wheel bearings and since I'm new at this, I'd like to know where the heck they are so I don't oil the wrong places
In the photo below (click on it to enlarge it) are they at A or B? My guess is B

B is probably the best place to add some oil. Truck sideframes no longer have bearings.

B are the bearings -- the axle ends don't even touch the sideframes of the trucks. You can even remove the sideframes and the engine will still run just fine.
