Front wheel spindle locking solid

<< < (2/4) > >>

florence:
Sorry,  :-[ I should have mentioned that one should use a spacer or something to spread the load across the whole of the bearing.  (thanks Hairygit, interested to know what tool you use?)

However you do it though, I am sure you will find it is locking because the bearing is not seated correctly.

hairygit:
A large old socket which fits the outer race perfectly, then whack the socket. Any impact to the inner race is bad news!

florence:
thanks for that

Chris400F:
Using the old bearing to drive in the new has also been suggested. It is the right size ....
Think I used a large socket on the old bearing on the new (if that makes sense), didn't want to risk damage to the outer part of the new bearing from the socket.

hairygit:
Depending on the bike, you can end up with both the old and new bearing wedged in doing that, and the only way to get them out involves damaging both, that's why I use a socket!
