Black Cat Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 Is there a right and wrong way to install the large rear wheel bearing as the replacement ones I have, which were supplied by Moss Bros seem exactly the same on both sides.

JumpingFrog Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 Nope. But, usually the part number is left visible (e.g. facing the wheel) for the next person, but that's just courtesy. However, the needle roller is sided as the cage is thicker/flatter on the text side, this is the side you should press/hit (e.g. text faces the diff).

Black Cat Posted February 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Thank you gentlemen, now have another question, brought a set of Supaflex rear trunnions bushes again from Moss Bros, they only come with bushes and sleeves, the bushes face seem to be slightly concave, I have put new inner plates on before inserting the bushes and these fit nicely over the edge of the bushes, the outer cover plate then goes over the edge of the bushes. The bushes completely fill the recess in the cover plates. My question is, should there be an additional ring seal and if so where can it be fitted or are these bushes so designed that they are not required ?

Black Cat Posted February 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Spoken to Chris at Poly Flex this morning and he has confirmed, with there poly bushes and the stainless steel inserts there is no need to install dust shields on the bushes, in other-words, insert the bushes into the trunnions with out any dust shields, insert the stainless steel spacer tube, well grease all part and then install the rear uprights as normal. As the spacer tube is stainless steel this will not rust and the concave face of the poly bushes when compressed will seal the end of the bush preventing ingress of moisture.
