Doms CB550F1 project
Bryanj:
The inners need to be up tight for the axle to tighten, think about it as you tighten the nut you are forcing everything together, its possible you damaged a race knocking the bearing out tacke the wheel out again stick a finger in the inner race(s) and rotate by hand
DomP:
I think the inner race has been pinched, how the hell do you drive the bearing against the spacers without putting some preloaded on the bearing?
New bearing time...again maybe
*all sorted, I heated up the brake side bearing surround til very hot then knocked back the spacer from the socket side with an 18mm socket just enough to take the pressure of the inner race. Free spins without notchyness. Might have got away with that.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
TBH I would have thought it more likely that in drifting out the bearing your drift slipped off the outer race & distorted the metal bearing cage - easily done if the bearing is tight.
The tightening of the lock ring fixes the left side bearing (after you have previously fitted the right side bearing) Once assembled the spacers will give some preload to the inner races - this preload is limited as the right side bearing would be pushed out if it became excessive.
At least the above is how I see it in my head.
PS I am aslo often wrong.
DomP:
Definitely not thankfully Ted, the hub spins silky smooth so the acid test will be once its used in anger.
