2eighTZ4me Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 In repacking the front wheel bearings, I noticed the outer race is not seated firmly into the hub. I can move it around with my fingers. My knowledge is that they are supposed to be non-movable. Is my hub wasted? I doubt it can be good to ride on it that way. I have new bearings and races on the way, but I fear the PO rode on it this way for a while and wallowed out the hub, making new bearings/races worthless without a new hub. Thoughts?

SHO-Z Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 If the outer race is loose in the hub the hub us wasted. You should have to press them in, and I am not taking about a lot of force though. I use a hammer and a piece of wood most of the time. Time to go wrecking yard and get a new-used one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
