-A 52mm socket and a big bar to get the old hub nuts off (assuming you have the later staked nut type, if not the box spanner type affair will do);
-17mm socket to get the drive flange nuts off -pry bar/soft faced mallet to break the seal with the drive flange and hub and remove/install the hub seal; -punch and hammer to remove the outer bearing races; -Suitable wheel bearing grease; Assuming you are travelling on an overland trip to want to carry spare bearings, in which case a stub axle would be advisable too.

plus 13mm multi point to remove the caliper bolts and spare caliper bolts, tube of RTV and grease to pack bearings with
personally i wouldnt use a stake nut, i would carry the two nuts with washer to bend over them to hold in place. Cheers James 110 2010 XS Utility 130 2011 M57 bespoke Camper 90 2010 Hardtop 90 M57 1988 Hardtop |

i prefer the older method and ability to reassemble in the field without needing new parts like a stake nut. Cheers

I changed to the old system too.
I allways carry a tube off blue silicon to seal anything except the fuel system as you need gray silicon for that.

You might also want to consider changing to oil lubricated bearings - more prone to leaking but also much less prone to "catastrophic" failure. You need to use the RTC 3511 seal on the hub if you do this though as the "greased" seal doesn't provide a good enough seal to keep oil in (or water out). http://www.yorkshireoffroadclub.net/

I changed to the two nuts and locking tab but retained the original spacer. Just did the first nut up as tight as I could with the tools I carry in the Puma. Lock tab and second nut as per the normal method. Undoing the stake nut on the side of a track would be big ask, I don't carry 3 foot of pipe to slip over my hub spanner. I carry 2 bearings, hub seal, flange gaskets, spare lock nuts with washer, spare lock tab plus grease. The reason for the spare nuts in case I damage one or need to fit bearings to another vehicle on a trip. Cheers, Kyle. |

The problem with keeping the spacer is you can't take up any play in the bearings when they wear, if you're using the old system of locking nuts and tab washer, just bin the spacer.

I had no movment after a full clean and regrease on all 4 wheels with the spaces fitted.
If I do get any movment I'll take your advice and remove the spacers
At this stage they are no worse than doing one nut up stupidly tight. Cheers, Kyle. |
