The plot thickens....


I'll strip a load of old hubs down tomorrow then, see if that helps me. There wasn't one in there when i changed the bearing on mine, but that doesn't mean its right.

I don't suppose you know whether I should have a spacer between the 2 bearings in the hub? Luke seems to think there should be something in there, but nothing dropped out :S

I seem to remember being one when I first did mine. Just had a look through my haynes and it shows one being in there.


However on the last one I rebuilt to fit onto mine, I don't think there was one. Although im running the 8.4" hubs, but I think there the same internally.

The same hubs are used for 7.5 and 8.4'' brakes ( Tom's running 8.4's anyway ) i deffinatly had a tubey spacer thing in mine when i changed them, but i dont see that causing your problem as it just fill the gap between the bearings?? i say give genuine bearings ago

Ohh and i want to see carbon aswell!!!

Ohh and did you put the oil seals on the right sides?? im sure one is quite abit thicker maybe thats putting pressure on the inside bearing where its been tourqed up making itlike crush up and not fit freely??? lol

[HARBER07]

Can't tell you how much I appreciate this Saved me a load of hassle stripping hubs down.


Deffo no spacer thing in the Hub, so i need to get one from somewhere. Good thinking with the seals, but I'm sure they were on right :/

[sweetser]

Thick one on the outside, thin one and clear bit on the inside?
