Sorry, bit confused, but doesn’t the hub nut get torqued vs just wee past finger tight? The one holding the anti rotation washer.

Probably, you would need a crows foot adapter for the torque wrench though. I haven't got any so did it the old fashioned way 😁

I have just changed mine, but for some reason the disc is now sitting way too close to the heat shield, what have i done wrong? Its throwing loads of smoke out, and now locked the wheel

Have you definitely put the outside race of the inner bearing into the back of the disc? I had the same issue years ago and realised that I had forgotten to fit it and just put it all back together. Easily done.

Hi Larcs, great video, inspired is to have a go at replacing off side front bearings, but we can't get the caliper bolts out...any tips etc...

Thanks, all I can suggest is to turn the wheel to give you good access, use some easing oil, use a six point socket and breaker bar and give it all you've got. Sometimes a bit of heat will help. Good luck sorting it out 🤞. Cheers Larcs 👍

Great Video. This is what is on my 85. If I have a lot more drag when I spin the hub, could it be too much grease ? I definitely used more. THen, I tightened it down tight and backed off, but it has a lot more drag...but washer moves...I'll go back and check it while it still sitting on the jackstands.

Thanks for the feedback. More grease might be a bit 'draggy' especially if it's really cold. I would whip it off again and check everything is OK just in case though. If the seal isn't fully home or not quite straight it will cause it to drag. Check the bearing races are in straight too, but this is more likely to cause a 'loose then tight' sot of feeling. Good luck

@@LarcsWorkshop thanks, seal was not even, races were in there tight, checked just to be 100%, but it was the dust shield..the originals were rusted away, and the new ones were not identical, I bent them back and everything works now...I used a mercedes spindle nut ....Thanks !

A 100% correct video. The (stiff) sliding of the washer indicates the right applied torque on the nut. Apply the right (SKF) wheel bearing grease, but not to much. Keep everything very clean! Not 1 particle is allowed here. Checking the torque in practice: It is very informative to lift the wheelcaps after after a sufficient long drive (say 30-50 miles) and feel the temperature of the bearing on the black cap. A well torqued bearing is luke warm, that is the normal temperature. Louis van Rijn. 405.000 km in a 1980 T3
