Wheel bearing change
Had to change the wheel bearing for the MOT, I also changed the hub oil seals as they where leaking. The only thing is when I got it all back together I couldn't get the half shalf out enough to put the C clip back on, the driving flange was on and bolted down, I could feel the groove that the clip sits in with a finger nail but not enough was protruding the driving flange for the c clip to locate into. Any ideas on where I've gone wrong?

It's been some time since I've done that job but does the shaft have an internal thread in it that you can put a bolt in and pull the shaft out ? I think shaggy dog had a similar problem a week or so back and took out the opposite shaft and pushed a length of copper pipe through to push the shaft out !

Yep, I had a bolt in the thread and a slide hammer on it and it didn't budge! Would be a right pain in the arse to strip the other side down to push this one out, and what then if the other side did the same apon reassembly??? Something I could try if all else fails! Why is it the simplest jobs turn out to be the most problematic?

How about removing flange and shaft and assembling them together then put the shaft back in with the flange already on it ? 2005 Td5 90 XS

Take it you might know this but normally screw a bolt in the centre then just pull out by hand , you want need a slide hammer normally ( well i never have anyway

Cant remember if the thrust washer for the cv has a wrong or right way round , some washers have a tapered inner

Are you absolutely sure that the hub assembly is back on the stub axle correctly? If for some reason the hub isn't seating correctly (ie it hasn't gone on far enough) - for example if the outer race of the inner bearing isn't properly installed - you would have this problem. I can't immediately think of any other reason.

As said above I think your bearings are not installed correctly. Roel

just take the hub off and try and pull it out, if still wont come take stub axle off and check seating in back.

Sometimes they get pushed in on assembly and dont come back out until it is stripped again, just keep hold of it on the 2nd assembly.

probably nothing fitted wrong, its just been stubourn. Cheers

Ok, it's beat me. How on earth did you get the truck up on those front stands? Craig Rogers

I'm guessing with the other half of the ramp setup that's still holding the wheel just at the right of the picture Mr. Green

use the other pair of colum lifts ( you can just see the other one with the wheel still on it ) lift on the wheel then lower on to stands then remove the wheels

I assume they're not new drive members? (The earlier thicker ones vs the later thin ones?)
