some tyres also have exterior/interior wrote on the side wall!
DRrollo, jack it up, get a bar under the wheel and lift it up, should feel movement if theres any to feel!!
them bearings shouldnt just 'falll off'! unless your very unlucky in my opinion, yhe apprentice at work had one fall off the other day, but he was trying to change it and hit it with a hammer! fuckin needle bearings everywhere!:dapprove:
only a little bit! but enough to locate it right!! you dont need to undo the 13mm bolts at all!! its quite common for them to pop out when your working on the hub.
well, ideally you need to undone the ball joint and take it out, this will give you some free on the shaft, if you pull the hub outwards SLOWLY, you will understand what i mean, if you turn the shaft as you push it back in you will feel when its sat right, sort of slides in!
so when you refit the gaiter to the shaft, you then bolted the 3 bolts up, was the shaft definately sat right in the box??, you should when them bolts are in and tight be able to feel that the shaft is sat right, was it hard to get in at the hub end? from what you have said there is very little...
IMO its miles out, getting it hot isnt going to bring it down that much! you need to get the lambda right for the co to follow, or thats usually the case! no leaks in the exhaust anywhere? however minor?
From memory there is a pulley with a allen key in the middle and a 21 or 22 mm hex head around it, you loosen the allen key then turn it up or down accordingly with a spanner, it has a teeth mechanism behind it!
