Hub removal from driveshaft



  Radical SR3
I have my shiny new bearings now and on the advise of others here I've bought a set of Brembo rear discs with bearings pressed in. I've removed the tie rod end, the 2 bolts from the strut to the hub, the 2 bolts to the wishbone/balljoint, the 30mm (2' breaker bar needed) hub nut and the caliper. Rain stopped play at that point. Is it now simply a case of pulling the hub forward slightly and tapping the end of the driveshaft to loosen it from hte hub and then remove? any tips on this bit? don't want to damage anything!

Also does anyone know the correct torque settings for the balljoint bolts, strut bolts and hub nut?

Wind the nut back on and tap the nut lightly. The shaft will come out from behind.

Off the top of my head torque settings

Track rod end is 37 nm
Upper strut bolts 110 nm
Lower ball joint nuts 100nm (not sure on this one)
Caliper carrier 110nm
Hub nut 280 nm

thankyou for the info, it stopped raining long enough for me to have a look. A few gentle taps on the driveshaft end and the hub came away. Took me about 30 mins a side to fully remove :)

I've taken pics of the bits and pieces if anyone needs a guide.
