HELP! Wheelbearing issues...

<< < (2/3) > >>

Bikermutt:
NNNNNNGGGGGHHHHHH....... I have now replaced the stub axle & wheelbearings. All back together but I cant pull the half shaft out far enough to get the retaining clip on! Any ideas chaps??? Sanity slowly ebbing away after two nights working on it in brass monkey weather!

300TDi Disco:
I had the same issue and found that the needle roller bearing had broken up in side. Which wouldn't allow me to pull the shaft far enough to put the 2 washers and the sur clip. Took me a couple of hours to do both sides, I also cleaned out the swivels and chucked lots & I do mean lots of grease before putting the hub back on.
Hope this helps.

lambert:
had a similar prob with a scooby pickup, turned out the garage had not pressed the seats in square so i drifted them out and fitted new ones with a hammer and punch.

Range Rover Blues:
It could be the CV joint has slipped inside and needs pulling out, you need to wiggle it into the bearing.  It could also be the bearing has collapsed as suggested.  the end of the CV should have a thread in it and IIC the drive member bolts should fit it and allow you to pull it out.  With new wheel bearings though you need to recheck the endfloat and likely as not you will need new shims for the CV/drive member circlip.

Bikermutt:
All done! Managed to pull it through using a long bolt with socket acting as a puller. What is 'Endfloat'? How do I check it & what should it be?

Cheers in advance
