Tin-Top - help! (focus)
following this earlier: http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=139189
I've just done the wheel bearing with only a couple of bolts giving me hassle - but as soon as put the wheel back on the disc jams against the
caliper carrier
I can't see anything wrong with how its put together so now I'm stuck
any ideas ? (btw its a mk1 focus without ABS)

I don't know the setup of focus bearings, but it sounds to me like the bearing either isn't fully pressed in or you've been supplied
the wrong part.

After you'd pressed the bearing into the carrier did you press the flange into the bearing? If it's not fully home then thats the result
you'd get.

The bearing is fully pressed in (there is a circlip that holds it) and the hub is fully pressed into the centre.....

Pad guides bent?? Did you press it out with the hub supported on the mounting lugs for the caliper?

for about 1 second with hardly any force (didn't even regester on the gauge)
then decided that they wern't strong enough and changed the supports - but I guess that was already too late

Usually they have a very subtle difference, on front wheel drives the internal bore of the bearing usually has a more generous radius where it
meets one face.
