Another breakdown, but why?

<< < (5/7) > >>

BrumLee:
Must be catching  :shock: Had exactly the same problem Bank Holiday Monday, o/s/f inner bearing disintegrated  :cry:  :cry: Managed to get the race off with a bit of perseverence and ChrisW kindly popped round to drop off some new bearings to get me mobile again  8)

Leigh:
What condition was your stub axle in after the perseverence Lee?

I'm just hoping once I have got it off I can remember the right order of putting everything back on  :lol:  :oops:

nickW:
if its stuck, then its probably stuck because the rear race span on the shaft, it will be stuck on the chewed up bits of metal

muddyjames:
how easy is it to replace a front wheel bearing as one of my front wheels has a bit of a wobble to it and i would like to change it before I have all the above grief!!

Also I have some new wheel bearings for a classic RR will they fit my 300tdi diesel disco?

DiscoDan:
Hi Guys.

Can I ask you all what maintainence you do to your wheel bearings? I know this sounds cheeky but it's not meant that way!  :D Personally I remove the bearings as part of the 24K service & check for scoring, refit with new grease. Do I need to do this more or less often?

Also, there has been some debate over the 'hand of experience' method of adjusting wheel bearings. Has anyone sourced a torque wrench that can tighten to 4Nm as recommended in the handbook? Would this reduce the chance of failure? It is something I would prefer to do but the cost of a decent wrench put me off.

Cheers, Dan
