Front hub bearings

<< < (2/4) > >>

DomP:
I could be wrong, but that's how I was told the rear goes together.

Where's Bryan?😀

Bryanj:
I always fit the fixed side first up to shoulderthen spacer and other side

Oh so opposite to the rear hub method Bryan?

DomP:
I can't see how it can be any other way than retainer first, the otherside has no positive place to set a bearing to.

I thought the wheel axle spacers do that - if the floating bearing is right up against the shoulder when you fit the hub inside spacer as you tighten up the lock ring on the other fixed side bearing that will push the inside spacer up against the floating  bearing. A sort of pre-load before the axle outside spacers are pushed in as you tighten the axle nut.

In truth it might work either way, if Bryan says fixed first then OK - can't remember if this is covered in the Haynes Manual.
