I have an 818 and I'm stuck in odessa del. I belive it is a front right brake that is locking up or a wheel bearing on its way out. Any help with a jack and whatever parts that may be needed would be great. Please call me at (973)_277-0151. Eric

They need a front wheel bearing set. If anyone can help with locating one. give either them a call please.

@Matt do you know of anyone who may have one?

Try bleeding the brakes....I had one lock up me when I was flat towing it home.

You will need someone to pump the brakes and some DOT-5 brake fluid.

You can open the bleeder valves with a 3/8ths box end (I think).....very small cresent will do in a pinch but there is not much room to operate on some of the valves.

That's all I got.

Yes they are NK.

Yes he could chain up the rear axle, pull the hub and bearings, and disconnect the rear D/S. It's more work, but it would get him moving again.

I don't even get off work till 3. There is no way I can get to the axle in my trailer. If he still need it I might be able to run out with a jack, jack stand and a chain. But I'm 2 hours away.

I just called them, if they can't get any help then ill make the 2 hour track out there. They got the tools, just no jack. If anyone in the area could lend them a jack and jack stand that would be awesome!
