Bracco Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Help ! I took rear hub assemblies apart a couple of weeks ago and I can't remember the position of the spacer or which side it faces. Basically I've got two 52mm nuts, one tab washer and a spacer... does the spacer go on the spindle before/after hub assembly or between hub assembly and the first nut? Which side of the space goes in or out? Tried figuring it out by reviewing service manual and Les' post on bearing replacements but I wasn't able to see/understand. Thanks in advance.

LandyManLuke Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 put the hub on the stub shaft, then the spacer flat surface out, then the first nut, then the locking tab washer and lastly the second nut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Henson Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 There shouldn't be two tab washers, Andy - they are a locking device and the innermost one has nothing to lock to on the inside. Doesn't matter that it's there, I just wonder why it is. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Doesn't matter that it's there, I just wonder why it is.Les. It would certainly be a handy place to keep a "spare" washer.... you can flatten them out a couple of times before the're brittle and finally snap, so keeping a spare there would be dead handy! you're never going to lose it, unless your axle falls off and you don't notice.

Bracco Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 Thanks to all. UPS just delivered new bearings so I'll be sorting this out tomorrow afternoon. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
