Oops! What was that?

Nismo,
It's a real easy job provided you can get the inner races off the stub axle.
Don't forget to replace the inner hub seals - even if they don't look like they need it :D
Lucy1978:
A neat trick for shifting stubborn stuck things like that is a rotastop breaker drill with a cheap chisel bit in it. They put a hell of a lot more energy into it than you could hope to with a hammer and cold chisel and will generally shift something like that in seconds as Tim M will testify to after his disco wheel bearing went bang and did somethign similar.
Range Rover Blues:
I was told that electric arc welding would make the bearing race brittle, making it easier to shatter.
nismo2004:
i have orderd a set of tenken bearings that suposed to coma as a set with new locking washers and seals, so im quessing thats the seals that you pop back into the brake disc.
or is there another oil seal that needs replacing. :(
SteveGoodz:
If you're just changing the bearings and don't plan to open up the swivel housing then there is just one seal. It's likely that if you've bought the bits as a kit then it'll have the standard Discovery ones.
Before getting the bits for mine I saw lots of recommendations to use Range Rover Classic seals instead. The Discovery ones are designed to keep grease in whereas the RR ones are double ended and are also designed to keep muck out.
Have fun :lol:
