Wheel bearings gone
Range Rover Blues:
Yes I've found that there are different hubs/stub axle combinations, plus the RRC rear disks don't fit on the front though I was once told they were the same disk :-k
It's possible the hub is hitting the end of the stub axle before the bearinsg come up tight. The again you should slacken them off 90 degrees. If you try that and the hub turns but you hear a grating noise, look for a whitmess mark to show where it catches, that might give you a clue.
mobi:
i think you have put rear disks on the front, front disks are deeper.

Hi Guys
Well all done :dance: :dance:
Took 1 1/2 hours to do (would have been less if I didn't have to hunt around for a socket to take the wheel off :oops: nuts on too tight for the standard landy wheel wrench now in the bin :roll:)
All went well , pretty straight forward , getting it apart was easy :shock: as soon as I took the outer spacer off the rollers fell out all over the floor :lol: :lol:
I used the old race to knock in the new ones (Timken) whole job went perfect :D
as usual thanks for all the replies :clap: :clap:

I am so jealous. My first time was last year in August for the MOT under a tarp in the rain and calling about 5 different people. I am still very grateful to RRB. It took me 3hours. I can tighten up a bearing in 30mins now. Still not 100% sure how tight the nuts are supposed to go but hey, it hasnt fallen off yet :lol:

Torque to 61 nm then undo 90 degrees..
apparently :-.
However I didn't have an adaptor to fit the big socket 3/4 drive to my big torque wrench 1/2 drive :roll:
so I did it up tight with the wrench then backed it off 90 degrees :lol:
Two days of welly and it's not fell off so it must be ok :twisted:
