Changing wheel bearings
Range Rover Blues:
SOmeone say drive member? I take it you have ABS then. If so then once you have rebuilt the hub you need to set the endfloat of the driveshaft through the drive member. Shims are £10 a pack, one size each pack and Paddocks don't stock them for that reason, so I was told.
narked:
Well that's what it's referred to as in the Haynes manual and the LR manual. 5 bolts holding it in place.
Range Rover Blues:
Yes driving member is the correct name (in LR speak) but if you have the ABS axles then the CV joint sticks out through the middle and is covered by a rubber cap, this must be disconnected first, circlip under said cap. If the end of the axle is just a mushroom and you don't have ABS axles then it's much much easier, but I think on a 300 series it's more likely to be the later style of hub, so more work.
narked:
Don't think I've got ABS, but I do have the rubber dust cap, with the circlip and washer.
So what's the trick to getting those bolts undone then? I couldn't get any leverage on 'em without the hub spinning.
Xtremeteam:
air gun
or put a lever through the wheel studs onto the deck & unscrew them
