sierra rear hubs
joolsmi16 - 18/10/07 at 02:10 PM

HI all, any ideas on when I put new bearing and oil seals in two pairs of rear sierra hubs (disc brake) will they:

1, won't turn

2, hard to turn

tried different makes of bearing but still no joy just given up for today!!

Thanks

hard to turn is OK as they will need to bed in and won't turn freely until they are (100 miles will sort this out), unable to turn however sounds like there could be an issue with the hub.

that sound right, as one pair is hard to turn and the other pair of hubs with the same new bearings will not turn by hand.

May but a set on the car and recheck 100miles in?

Thanks
