Peter McEvedy Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I should firstly point out that I am in no way an engineer so please excuse my complete lack of knowledge of anything mechanical! I am upgrading the front suspension on my GT6 convertible and have removed everything and am now putting things back on! I have managed to replace the wishbones and uprights and have fitted the trunnionless kit. I have also bought the uprated hubs and stub axles from Canley. I am putting the hubs back on but the new wheel bearings seem very tight on the new stub axle - the old hubs slid off relatively easily - these seem very resistant! The bearing are the new ones with integral seals - first stupid question -I take it that the rubber seals are supposed to be at the outside of the hubs - it would seem illogical to be any other way! What is the best way to get the hub back on? I have put the stub axle back onto the upright and torqued it to the correct amount. I have greased the bearings using LM grease relatively sparingly - I don't want to damage anything so advice would be most welcome! No doubt more silly questions will follow!

Nick Moore Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Hmmm, not many of us have used the Canley uprated stub axles yet. Maybe you should ask Canleys directly?N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter McEvedy Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 Will do and will report back. There was a slight mix up as the axles were not originally sent and I wonder if I have the standard bearings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
