Changing wheel bearings

<< < (8/8)

narked:
Doesn't help that it goes through a river usually 4 times a day. First thing I was asked yesterday at the garage was "Do you do much wading in this?". Going to order some extended breathers tonight!

Range Rover Blues:
Possibly worth checking thay aren't blocked ASAP, I'd expect crud in the diff if it were just the breather getting submerged, crud in the bearings quite possibly caused by a blocked breather.

narked:
Turns out I've got another knackered stub axle, the race has been spinning on it again, grinding gouges into it, same as what happened on the front. Extended breathers were ordered last night. When they come I'll check the breathers aren't blocked.

narked:
Well, got the Disco back today. My wallet is now considerably easier to carry due to having some excess weight removed...

Had to pay for the recovery (was thinking about joining AA/RAC/whatever a few days previously, then it slipped my mind!) but that wasn't too bad. Labour charges didn't seem too excessive either. Was just the parts bumping it up, though admittedly the bill was well within the range I was preparing myself for.

Lovely to drive now, no play at all :D So nice to have it back after a couple of weeks without.
