On the way home from work the other morning my wheel bearing collapsed.
I was forced to drive on albeit slowly for around 10 miles.
I picked up new bearings for both sides today and also a Haynes manual.
Upon strip down this is what I found.
As expected it is a mess. Trouble is that now some parts dont compare with the Haynes manual lol.
I recognise the remains of both bearings, but I cannot see the expected lock nut on the end of the shaft, unless that rounded blob of metal is all that remains ??
Also I am now wondering if I can re-use the hub and end cap bit as they are severely scored etc, opinions??
In the last pic you can see I have tried to use my 52mm tool to shape the blob of metal on the end, driveshaft turns freely within it but it still won't come off, hence I'm guessing that is the remains of the locknut ??
Also on the last pic, is that the remains of the bearings ? If so how come I have similar shaped remains inside the hub ?
This is the first time for me with a landy and a job like this so I have no idea what is what and nothing looks like the manual because of the damage.
Any help appreciated thanks !!
