Well had my first major set back today. After warming the hub up and tapping my frozen bearing in, With a 3oz hammer I might add. The hub cracked. The wheels have just been freshly powdercoated adding more pain to the situation.
Im not sure but I think it is the part that drives the speedo cable. It is only cracked where the thin metal is and not down in the bearing housing. I have stopped working on it till I can get some good advice.
Any ideas guys, any advice would really be appreciated.
If they cure the powder too hot it can weaken Ali ,1: did it crack coz the bearing was tight or wonky ??? Or 2:coz u hit wheel wiv hammer ??? 3: Do you have the part number of new bearings you used (on the box lol) , 4: did u hear it snap or just see it when it was done
Thanks for the reply ,Basically I had the bearing going in flush and when it was flush with the lip I hit it and it cracked not hard mind. Really annoying but as I am aware it is not a load bearing part so I am going to put my bearing in and fill the crack with araldite. From what I can tell the only purpose of this lip is to turn the speedo?
I have got it solid with packing the crack withe araldite. Not ideal but I will keep an eye on it and inspect the wheel after a hundered miles. Will make sure I hit a few bumps.
