Ceaser Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Well stripped down the rear inner hub only to find this..........Looks like someone has had a good go at it in the past :-/Thinking of getting it machined out and back to normal what you think??

Rich_s Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 You are not alone, this is what mine looked like when i took the hub to be seperated at Canleys, slightly worn and knackered if you look at the bottom :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceaser Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 WOW i would change that one, but i think if mine is just machined down it should still be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_s Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 It damaged the drive shaft as well so had to buy the lot brand new, luckily canleys had it all in stock for me.Lesson learnt, next time i buy a car to do up and put back on the road, must remember to jack up each wheel and test things like this first heheheheheRich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceaser Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 Is that on the upper side of the hub aswell?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_s Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 No its the bottom, think i took the pic upside down, no idea how someone could leave it long enough to do this much damage though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkB Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I have been stepping over four rear roto corners in my garage for years and finally decided to strip them down. Three of the four had the trunnion bolt seized and I had to drill them out carefully. On this one I noticed a flat on the edge which looks more like part of the casting, but as none of the others have it think it may have been battered in the past. What do you think, is it knackered?CheersMark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Another angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
