I do how it says in the book. If you tighten them as it describes they are too loose and have play in them after a few miles. If you ignore it and tighten them up then they bind and fall to pieces. I can't find the bit where there is no play but they are not binding. Iain never changed the bearings in 4 years. There was no grease in them and they were as tight as they could be.

I can't see how it done :cry:  :cry:

Mace:
So why don't we have an article from Guy in the members workshop section on wheelbearings ?

davidlandy:
I just tighten mine up tight so theres no play and so that the wheel moves freely. oh and plenty of grease.

you need to make sure that the inner race is on properly otherwise that can cause play to develop as it works its way up the stub axle and seats properly.

Next time u do a wheel bearing Guy takes lots of pics and give us a blow by blow write up on here. we could all do with a laff!

Digsit:
It must be all those sausage rolls you eat :wink:  All that extra 'load' :lol:
