forgot to put Spacer in rear discs

[letsturboit]

Just swapped discs and pads all round on my ph1. We forgot to put the spacers back in the new discs. Now we cant get the new disc off again. Ideas? Pulling tools?

Dont wanna mess up my new discs.

If you have a puller use that. If not bolt the wheel on but not the hub nut and pull on that. Bit more leverage but just be careful to not split the bearing

The bearing fell out. Game over for now...

you've squashed the end of the stub axle, you need to sort that out before you fit a new bearing.

That should explain why the disks that slipped on so easily where a t**t to get off and were impossible to put back on..

How have i managed that? Brute force and stupidty i imagine..

 

[bloke]

without the spacer the nut/flange tightens on the flat end of the stub axle instead of the bearing inner. bit of emery cloth and elbow grease sorts it out, use the inner off one of the old bearings to check it's ok.

Cheers for the advice @bloke.
I picked up some emery cloth today, getting new bearings pressed in tomorrow by a mate while im at work, that should hopefully solve it

I can't see how you've pulled the bearings out of the disc. I had to use a 10ton press after the 5 more or less fell apart.

 

[bloke]

the inner comes out.

 

[letsturboit]

I was a bit heavy handed with the pulling tool. It split straight in half. Half in the front of the disk. Half left on the stub. Oh well. You live and learn.

 

[bloke]

nothing to do with being heavy handed,the inner was going to come out regardless.

Well just to end this thread, @bloke was correct in saying id crushed the stub axle.
Fixed now thankfully with his advice. Cheers everyone who replied.

 

[bloke]

no worries.
