dailysleaze Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 I've had similar, but didn't get there in time After being recovered from the hard shoulder, I had to angle grind the hub off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troll Hunter Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 A little bit off topic, but how did you manage to upload 10 photos without exceeding the upload limit? What size, mega pixel, pics are they, because they seem to have v. good resolution? Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 My fu tells me resized to 1024px as largest dimension. This will bring most jpgs under 300kb, so with a 10MB limit per post it is easily achievable. Geoff posted a while ago, that there is now an image proxy running, so only smaller images get served, so we may also be seeing that in action. That or the DC_ did a great job resizing before upload, like a good boy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSD Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I was doing the exact same job on Sunday afternoon I've had some bearing noise for a week or so, but couldn't find any play or excess heat in any wheel. On Sunday morning the light noise became an ominous noise and a lot of heat in the osf wheel. Drove carefully the 50 miles or so home and I reckon I only just made it. There was loads of play and I could feel the wheel move in the corners! The inner bearing cage fell apart when I removed the hub, and the inner race is welded to the stub axle. There was plenty of grease in there and the outer bearing was clean and intact, so there was probably either some contamination got in there or it just died of old age. It's probably 10 years and well over 100k since I last changed the bearings. It was too hot and I had to work outside in the farmyard, so for speed I robbed a stub axle from the 'other' Ibex (in slow build, so it doesn't really need them at the moment!). I'd be a bit wary of bending the brake pipe like that unless I was changing it anyway - too easy to kink or fracture it. Every time I've ever worked in there I've intended to slot the mounting bracket at the same time to save messing about with the swivel pin in the future. Somehow after 15 years I still haven't done it though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC_ Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 I think I've been sooooo lucky TSD, one of the bearings was slightly deformed and the "grease" was very....... well let's just say I'm not sure it was actually grease ?? The "list" now includes all the other corners pronto...... was very wary of the brake pipe but it was minimal movement so all was good ??
