Right ongoing saga,
I ordered a stub axle and cv joint for my defender it's a td5.
Looking at the old stub axle it's got a bronze thrust bearing pressed on the stub.
New one has not, the kits does not contain one.
Haynes says refer to main stealer.
I can get one from a local supplier (I think)
Is it possible to remove and reuse the old one?
Also the seal and needle roller bearing that goes inside the stub.....
I examined the old one then knocked the new seal in and pushed the bearing in left it flush with the stub axle as per old one but... There is a gap between the seal and bearing and there isn't on the old one?
Am I better finding a used one? Would a disco stub fit and are they the same as mine I.e with this bronze thrust bearing?
Please help lads iv had 8 hours on it today and it's doing my tree in
