Re: Need info on wheel bearings 72 Toro (Revcon motorhome)

I'm not asking about the GMC. That info is readily available.

I'm asking about the Toro becasue that's what's on my motrohome- not GMC hub.

I'm looking for instructions or a video on how to do it.

Need info on wheel bearings 72 Toro (Revcon motorhome)

My 72 Revcon is ALL Toro power train right down to the original hubs and rotors. I need to look at the wheel bearings.

How tricky is it to remove them? The GMC motorhome is mostly Toro powered but front end is different and the wheel bearings require a special tool.

Re: Hello- It's time to work on the Motorhome

I've had this for nine years, in that time i acquired and parted out a GMC. I sold some stuff to Jim and made a lot of friends on the GMC forum. But the GMC is 2-4000 lb heavier and requires a lot of re-engineering for optimal performance. For now i want to approach this like a stock muscle car rest...

Re: What to replace? - 1972 only 25,000 miles

Thanks

I've been on the GMC board for years. Lots of really great knowledge there and very generous people, including Jim K from Applied GMC.

I just wanted the perspective of Toro owners.

I actually joined this forum in 2015 when I was looking to sell the Revcon but that did not work out and my ...

Selling a toro powered RV

I have a 1972 Revcon. It is powered by a 455/TH425 with less than 30,000 miles. I'm getting ready to scrap it or part it out. If anyone here is interested it would be a very cool thing to bring to the car show. It could tow a trailer with a classic Toronado I would love to see $1500. I think I can g...
