Whilst the engine is with AK I have started to put a few bits back together like wheel hubs, front discs and uprights.
Select appropriate race from rebuild kit.
Insert in right place and tap in. This is an outer one so I won't be putting bearing rollers in until I'm ready to fit to upright on car
Repeat for inner race but this can have rollers and oil seal fitted.
A few taps with bearing drift or appropriately sized off cut of tube stock from neighbour's garage and all seated down.
Rollers fully greased up for placing in race - which equally is well smeared with bearing grease.
One seal soaked overnight in oil. Not sure why this is necessary for a plastic and spring unit. I'm sure that was for the old leather style but can't do any harm.
And insert
This seal actually seals around outer lip on upright so it doesn't sit right down on bearing. All the slack will be taken up when it's fitted onto the stub axle and the correct float applied.
Repeat for other side.
Brake discs have also been loosely fitted. covering them in next entry.
