Okay, the disc from Perth arrived today and I had everything ready to go.
First stage was to press the outer bearing into the hub and then fit the bearing retainer and the four screws. I used a Loctite stud retainer on these screw and also an impact driver to tighten them securely without damage.
Then a light lubricant to the axle and I offered up the axle mounted to the rotor with the cupped washer in place on the axle. This went into the press and all went together well.
Then over to the bench and I have the rotor face down with the assembly resting on the tips of the studs and I test rotate the hub. Hmmm.....something is binding.
After a while I figure out that the top of the studs are touching on the bearing retainer plate or the four screw. Not good.
So back to the press and remove the axle again, and sure enough there are two studs touching on the bearing retainer ring. Number 11 in this picture.
I'm thinking that these tollerances are just way to close if a coat of thick paint can make the studs rub on this retainer and I start to think that maybe something is missing here?
Back to the parts book and an exploded diagram, and sure enough, I appear to be missing a component.
Now everything that came out has gone back in, no leftovers, so maybe whoever did the last set of bearings or rotors may have left something out.
Part 8 on the drawing below is the specialy cupped washer that goes over the step at the base of the axle. I have this component and it's quite clear where it goes.
Part 9 on the drawing I do not have!
The parts manual calls it up as an outer dust shield, but I have no details about it and certainly don't have them in either side of the car.
Can somone help with this. Please explain what this is, the purpose and I need to know what it looks like as I'm going to need to make this component now before I can put it all together.
And.......bugger it. I'll have to pull the LHS apart agian and fit this in, even though the LHS tensioned down fine and does not touch anything.
