Superwinch FWH Assembly

Hi there. Please go easy on me if I'm doing something wrong - this is my first post...

I have just replaced the front wheel bearings on my 1983 Series 3 SWB 2.25 Diesel (with the later type front axle I believe). It has Superwinch free wheeling hubs and I'm not sure how tight the outer-most castellated nut should be before you insert the clip\pin. It's round, i.e. with no flats so not sure how you do it up anyway? Also, should there be a spacer, o-ring and Spirolox washer under the nut on these hubs like the standard hub? None were fitted when I took it apart but I just want to double-check.

Hope someone can help - thanks!

Hi Andy,

I have an '83 model, petrol (used to be diesel) with same FWH. I'll look up my workshop manual, I think I've got stuff on the FWH. A castellated nut shouldn't require torquing, especially if its locked up with a pin, but I'll check and see what I've got.

finger tight you need some play to let the shafts move around and the felt washers does their stuff.

Thanks for the replies chaps. Sounds like finger tight is fine then. Ta.

John - any additional info from your manual would be much appreciated. Ta.

Dominic - I don't think I have a felt washer. Is that anything to do with the spacer, o-ring and Spirolox washer I can see on the parts list for the standard hubs that appear to sit behind the castellated nut? (I haven't got those). Where does it go?

Thanks.
