    rear wheel hub bear

    Hi, Members got a problem i.e rear wheel hub bearing as some slight play in it.as any member ever change the bears and if so what is involved the bearing
    kit from paddocks is a good price of £17-00 but to renew the drive costs £160-00 so that is why I need your comments.

    Thankyou jim

    Did mine, albeit with a little assistance from Proptech in Hartlebury, you will need special 52mm spanners for the adjusting nuts, either a press or puller to separate the hub and a dial gauge and torque wrench to re-set the new bearings/hub.

    Not for the feint-hearted, but it is feasible as I am sure others will add.

        Easy to do but setting up end float does take some time. It's not straight forward , quick or easy as a Land/Rang Rover. If you dont have a DTI or decent vice then it will take ages to do.

        I found it easier to get the end float correct with the hub in the vice with the wheel on.

          Jim,
          Just a few weeks ago I rebuilt both of mine. Do Not start until you have access to a very large press, 40ton min. You most likely will be able to get away with a 20 ton press but one of mine took 35tons and broke the pressure gage line on my mates 60ton press, when it finally let go with a bag which made every body jump. Beware it is possible to deform the wheel hub, make sure that it's well supported around it's full circumference; just in case you get a tight one.
          Just carefully follow the instructions on reassembly, if you have to reuse the spacers just put a metal insert inside and gently massage most of the bulge out of it with a hammer on the vise anvil.

            I was able to get away with two pairs of slip join pliers, narrower than a wrench and the torque needed is low.

              I forgot that i used the 100 ton press at work, there is a bit of a bang. One did take a lot of pressure to break free, while one that i did 5 years ago, just needed a a bit of a wiggle and it was free. Depends on how much grease or rust there is.

                    Hi, bullstarz, I hope mine just need a bit of a wiggle because that is one thing I have not got a 100 ton press. I will keep you up to date with my procress.

                      Hi John is the dial gauge really necessary because over the last 45 years I must have replaced quite a few wheel bearing on my trantis vans and never used
                      a dial gauge what I would do is lock them up then back them off.never had any trouble.but if you have done it this way then that's the road to go down
                      thanks for your comments.

                        Hi thanks for your information I have read in the manual that a dial gauge is need to carrier out this work,where could I get one from. as the club got such a gauge
                        which I could hire.

                          Hi Ian when you did yours did you use a dial gauge because that's one thing I have not got I have access to a press.

                            I had the same play in rear bearings and bought a reconditioned half shaft from T D Fitchetts in Telford. Apparently they supply the Brothers.
                            I paid £140 + a surcharge and am pleased with the result and not having to bother with the pressing and reset issues.

                              Jim, I would say yes you need a dial gauge until you have done a few, just a few thou either way and you have a problem. To little failure and seizure is possible to much clearance early wear will be certain not to mention directional instability may be a possible outcome. These scenarios are a little extreme but possible depending how much you get it wrong.
                              Dial gauges of the magnet type are inexpensive and probably easy to borrow.

                              The methods of adjustment you are used to are not applicable for driven wheels.
