What I repaired today

(1/6) > >>

Though that this may be a worthwhile topic, given that I hear that Ed was having his gearbox out over this weekend.

Anyway, for my part I had to strip down my OSR wheel bearing.  Driving down the road today the bearing seized and I locked a wheel!!  This had been noisy for a while but I thought it was stones or mud in the caliper. Wrong! :cry:

I reversed back a little to free it off and slowly drove home.  Stripped it down to find that the inner races' carrier had disintregrated  :?

All ready for a new one to be put in now ....... Must go shopping again. Grrrr

think that I will check the NS one as well just in case.

Prob worth while checking all at the same time, if you havn't done anything to them, they will be wearing well, especially the other on the same side as the one which gave way

exactly my thoughts!

its was dry as a bone in there - all of the grease was on the outside of the large lock washer!!

I shall do the NSR at least.

Hello Boy

davidlandy:
Och Aye Duncan!!

Good to hear from you old boy!!
