I do love a pic Steve!
I'm glad it's all done now. As i said to emily and a few guys at work, yes it's taken me longer than someone who's done it but I've now done it and glad I did. I like to have a go at things if I'm semi confident. I'm not a mechanic mind.
I mean, If I'd let a garage do...
So i started to remove parts for the hub removal. I had left the components soak in 3in1 penetrating spray while the other side was being done. As the parts had not long been changed, everything still had plenty off copper grease from the previous fitting. Track rod outer, ball joint, hub nut...
Had a few issues this weekend.....
So my plan was to fit my front bearings. Had a browse on the forum and on youtube and thought i'd give it a go as id never done it one one of these before. Turned out it could have gone better! This was all over the space of the weekend, not all in one hit...
Thank you chaps.
Unfortunately I need it tomorrow as ill need the car for the week so itll have to be a halfords job as thats all that's open on a Sunday. Clutch and O/S driveshaft are getting changed next weekend anyway so could always get better stuff later in the week.
After some research...
Yes Steve, after some research that's the way to go.
Thats a job for tomorrow as ive had enough today! What oil is it and how much? In litres, not price!
PM coming your way soon regarding driveshafts....
Happened today while removing the hub to do a bearing change. Turned out the spline was seized in the front hub and was pulled out while the hub was removed.
This is what I have. What's the deal here? How do I refit the rubber? Process to what's next?
Thanks, Mark.
Pic is taken by looking...
@optical
Did you buy the ones in the link above?
Unsure on what ones I need as i have esp. Also my sensor (one that's fitted in the hub) has female ends. The loom in the inner arch has male ends. Some of the pics of semiprecious show the opposite.
