Hi all after dropping my daughter of at play school today only half a mile up the road and yes i was one of them dearly hated parent with a 4x4 and living so close i could of walked  :lol: well on my way home about 100yds from my drive i heard a bang in the front wheel and so i took the drivers side hub off and this is what happened do you think i can put them back in  :lol: i have a full new set coming but more to the piont where the hub seal goes inside there is a bad scratch would i need to get a new hub please see pics













sorry if pics not clear i took them of my phone test the camara out on it

eugene:
looks like you got your work cut out to get it ready for saturday henry make sure when
 you fit the new ones you pack the bearings with plenty of grease work it well in dont just lay
it on the bearing they must of been well worn or tightend to much in the past  :D

bobthedisco:
if the inner bearing has been spinning on the stub axle it will definitley need replaced, the same if it has been turning in the hub, if you need to replace the stub use genuine landrover as the paddock stubs and bearing seals are crap, timken bearings from them are ok though, job should only take around an hour or so if you are taking your time :cool:

eugene:
i knocked mine out with a small pointed punch just worked my way round slowly not to damage it but while youve stripped it down you could put new discs on as well cant realy see what they like in photo mate
