Wheel bearings

(1/6) > >>

Ollie:
Do I need 'floating point' tools to replace and setup the wheel bearings on my 110? Having bought the bearings and 'assumed' it was a fairly straight forward job, I've read that I need to correctly set up the shims as I re assemble the hub :?:
What would be the consequence if I didn't check this 'minute' measurement, drastic? I don't want to shorten the life of the bearings either.

Any help/suggestions much appreciated, ta,

Ollie.

turtle:
You shouldn't need a floating point to replace the wheel bearing. At least I haven't used one before (so I could be doing it wrong)

Or are you replaceing the front hubs as well, sounds like you doing several jobs at the same time?

davidlandy:
Ollie you need some advice from Guy110, the 'bearingmeister'

He has done more bearings than youve had hot dinners

Guy90:
Here I am. Done some before tea!

No idea what I'm doing though :evil:  :evil:  :evil:

Ollie:
Guy, aka, Bearingmeister,
All I have is an exploded diagram of the hub assembly. Is it a case of remove, replace bearings and refit in reverse order? Do I need any special tools for this job, is there any pitfalls I should be aware of?

Many thanks,
Ollie.
