| Post subject: | wheel bearing seal query |
Hi, getting a bit confused with the sequence of seals to bearing on front wheel of a 1986 2cv saloon. I bought a new bearing, for a previous 2cv along with the two seals a while ago.Ii have dismantled the hub, (great fun!) and found the two seals I removed are smaller than the new ones. As the pix shows, the smaller seal fits in the outside of the hub carrier(?) while the new larger seem to be a loose fit inside. Does the bearing have seals each end inside the hub? The new seals are from Ecas so I suspect it's me being a plonker! I've read the Haynes manual and it seems vague. Thanks for any help. Chris |

From ECAS site. Wheel bearing seal, front bearing requires 2, rear bearing requires 1, size 45x62x8. |

Thanks Ken for your quick reply. It's amazing how a cup of tea and a sit down can clear the brain! Of course, (I now realize) seals can't go inside the housing considering the lock nut requires a tight fit and any seal would crush. Also why did I have two rear seals: I forgot I usually buy two of such items in case I damage the first. I had to cut off the locking nut with a dremmel and slightly damaged the hub thread, I now have to try to persuade the new nut to catch the thread. Any problem and I shall stop for a a cup of tea!

Thanks for the link Roger. Just finished the re-assembly of the hub. I managed to 'cut' a new thread by using a breaker bar to turn the lock nut, a very long, slow and hard process. A touch of grinding paste, then WD40 then thin oil. There was very little swarf and both threads still have nice contours so I reckon it's fine. Not very professional but it worked! Looking forward to my next bodge! |
