Changing wheel bearings

<< < (5/8) > >>

Range Rover Blues:
Personally I just rely on the difflock to hold the hub stationary whilst I undo the 5 bolts.  Mine is viscous but I'm sure if you stick the manual one in it will work (provided you only do one wheel at a time :wink: ).

*slaps self about the head*

Seems so obvious when someone else says it :P

Found a hub nut box spanner on eBay, and just wondering if it's the right one as it's size is AF, rather than metric?

For non-LR use, dimension is 2 1/16" AF.

Having difficulty finding anyone locally who's got a 52mm socket or box spanner! And nowhere local stocks em either.

Range Rover Blues:
Box spanners available at Paddocks but I've newver found the open spanner shown in the manual, it looks like a viscous fan spanner.

Well, I had a quick look at 'em on monday. That loose that I didn't need anything other than my hands to undo the locknuts  :shock:

Took it into my preferred local garage the other day. Rang 'em today to see when they'd have it ready, to be told the bearings have made a mess of the stub axle and hub on at least one side, possibly both when they strip the other side to take a look :(

Still, on the plus side, should have it back by Monday, maybe Saturday if the bits arrive tomorrow.
