400/4 Wheel bearing questions ?
Bryanj:
Basically what you are doing is when you tighten the axle nut you lock all the bits on the axle into a solid lump and the wheel bearings complete with wheel rotates round it

The bit that makes my head spin is you want to avoid side load on the bearings - so at one end is a slightly smaller bearing that you fit up to the shoulder then a spacer that sits in the middle of the hub then another spacer that fits into the larger bearing that is locked in by the ring. On the chains side there is a wheel spacer that fixes the position of the rear drive wheel in relation to the engine output gear. On the other side a spacer fits between the rear fork and the bearing that sits against the shoulder. As you tighten the axle nut it all clamps up the smaller bearing can't move as it's up against the shoulder - in my head that means the spacer between the bearings is what fixes/prevents any side load.

Thats right Ted

I had a burst of enthusiasm coincided with energy so this morning I fitted the larger rear wheel bearing & spacers- all went okay except that I am not happy with the condition of the lock ring threads (I should have ordered one before I knew it was not great) Ordered new ring together with some various odds & sods that I needed - got to help DS stay in business.lol

I think the only person who will think it's a tasteful package will be me - everyone else will stare at it as if its some sort of Honda birth defect gone bling from a factory in Wuhan.
The whole will end up being much less than the sum of it's parts but it will tick the box in my demented septuagenarian brain.
