Front Disc Renewal

[meego]

I've just read the workshop manual and there is some stuff about using a dial gauge and setting end play to between 0.08 to 0.25mm. Also tighten to 50Nm, back 90° and tighten to 10Nm. What's the back door bodge for this stuff ? Also is a good idea to renew the grease seal while I'm in here.

If the seals are Ok now, then they should be ok to refit - but.... as they are cheap, it might be worth putting new in, if they have been in a while.....

Front wheel bearings are better set up properly IMHO, they are, ahem, sort of, important. even with decades of experience of the damn things, I always use a torque wrench to set them up.

Thanks Neilly. Great site but find it hard to identify what my part is. Mines is an 89 with solid front discs. My manual calls it a Grease Seal ??

Hi @meego

If yours is std then you can work from the VIN number on that site.

If in doubt, I look it up, then do a search on other parts sites , paddocks , LR Direct etc, and if necessary give one of them a call to double check.

Cheers

As above - plus sometimes the bay of fleas is worth a look... I tend to use Corteco seals when available, given they are an OEM. IIRC FTC 4785 does most of the hubs (?)
