#1: replacing front wheel hub Author: Sim, Location: West CountryPosted: Thu Oct 25, 2012 4:40 am ---- Hello,
Considering the wheel wobble ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yiQ0U50WdU ), I have second guess: CV joint should eliminate all wobble originating between itself and transmission. (before you ask: the wheel has no play whilst moving it by hands, and wheel itself is fine, as I swapped them and when wheel off, can see brand new brake disk touching pads as it spins - you can hear brakes squeek intermittently when hot and at low speeds)
So you might be right: wheel's hub flange is uneven/warped/hit/races borked,
Please tell me how hard it is to replace a hub (the whole or the flange only):
#2: Re: replacing front wheel hub Author: Seabook, Posted: Thu Oct 25, 2012 9:15 am ---- because most breaker can't be bother to remove the hubs from the front pivot (and most likely when you pull out the hubs the bearing will be destroyed)

I'll try swapping the front hubs together, see if wobble gets swapped as well.
Any pointers to look out for while dismantling? (e.g. I haven't got a torque wrench)
Cheers,

and you need a press to fit new bearing and remove the old bearing

at this stage i will not remove bearings, but thanks for future

#7: Re: replacing front wheel hub Author: Sim, Location: West CountryPosted: Thu Oct 25, 2012 11:56 am ---- Doesnt drive shaft just slide into the hub the same way it slides into the tranny?
#8: Re: replacing front wheel hub Author: Seabook, Posted: Thu Oct 25, 2012 1:28 pm ---- yes it is.
but the hubs are press onto the pivot.
