400/4 Wheel bearing questions ?
Sesman:
Its yours, so it’s beautiful and don’t let anybody say otherwise. Keep at it please.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
My DS lock ring arrived today but it will only screw in by hand about a third of a turn - I gave it another turn with my tool but stopped as it was just too tight.
I had previously cleaned out the threads in the hub that are good - plus applied some lubricant.
Good news is the old one will screw in about 4/5 turns easily by hand so thread is good - I've contacted DS waiting for response.
At a push I could use the old lock ring as its the very top thread that has a bit missing - anyone here had issues with them - it came in a Honda parts bag

Thanks I have the special tool - is there a torque setting as I haven't spotted one?
I did notice that the new lock ring has what I would describe as peaked threads whereas on the old lock ring they seemed flat somehow. I know that the manual says peen them over in four place with a punch mark but would locktite be as good or an added extra?
Bryanj:
Wouldnt use locktite, you may want to remove it in the future
K2-K6:
Put the ring in the freezer overnight and the wheel in the airing cupboard (making sure the airing cupboard inspector doesn't find it ;D) then try it after that.
