Wheel bearings

[fatfires]

Huh! go ahead, see if I care......

Hi Tony, dont go off in a huff, we still loves yer ........and I have made a note of instruction 2 for my 2nd gen, Sounds a bit like the bearing adjustment for the axles I use 'ensure there is end float on the hub'.......... Q, how much?
Sufficient!
guess the truck ones should read.. ensure there is no end float...........

BTW, don't try it with your truck, it won't work, IFS 2nd Gen trucks only!!!!

Tony.

What set up does the 3rd gen have, is it not a taper bearing.

No, its just a big sealed bearing that you press in the hub. Its not adjustable.

So your bearing is either OK, or you need a new one!

Or hammer the nut (AROUND) with a screwdriver till the disc has no wobble, but spins OK, put on lock nut and tighten the same way, fold over lock washer and go down the pub.

My kind of mechanics- I used a centre punch rather than a screwdriver! It passed the MOT okay though. They say you can fix these cars with a hammer- 'they' are not joking.

Well, had the front brake pads done, wheel bearings tightned and the tracking done.

Oh, and oily finger prints all over both front wings - so they must have done something.


All that + MOT for £147 inc VAT.


So I guess that's an OK price ?
