Another breakdown, but why?

<< < (2/7) > >>

Range Rover Blues:
The noise could be a UJ or wheel bearing but with the steering I'd be thinnking wheel bearing, the UJ is just not big enough to affect the steering quite that badly.

Leigh:
Thanks guys, I'll take the wheel off this afternoon and take a look. Is there anything I should be looking for in particular?

Cheers

Leigh:
It was definitly the bearings, took the hub off and the inner bearing just exploded. This is the remains



The inside of the bearing stayed in place and doesn't want to come off at all



How did you manage it? I've tried heating it up and it still wont budge.

Cheers

I've had this happen to me twice with rear bearings .Both times the inner race would not come off.I ended up buying second hand stub axles to get back on the road.I've kept one of the stubs and when I get chance I'm going to get my Dremel and grind through as gently as I can.

ade666:
first time i bought a new stub axle. second time i couldn't get any of it apart. lucky for me i'd bought a whole hub from eblag. get one from paddocks if you have no one local. chances are even if you get the race off the stub will be cream crackered
