Post subject:  Hub/ Wheel Bearing Spring Rings
Can you get replacement spring rings etc.

I had the local mechanic take out the bearings from one of my swivel hubs. In the process hes twisted the spring ring quite badly. Was wondering if i can get a replacement etc :wink:

i think hes talking about the spring inside the bearing rubber seal. Not sure if you can get just the spring but im sure you can get the seals, which include teh spring.

crap the seals are only $2. something each, new! :lol:
I thought maybe he means the inner seal spacer.. :?:

The inner seal spacer :wink: i guess youd call it.....a ring about 10mm across its face.....not a full ring but has a 'gap' in it :wink:

...I know it as a spring ring anyway :P ...

I don't recall it being that wide... but I haven't stripped one for a while.
Does it go between the inner bearing's outer ring, and the inner seal? By inner I mean the engine side of hub.. :wink:

Called a spacer- seal to inner bearing.


OK in my book for a drum hub, it's .229" wide. p/nho 21A1307.
I would have some here in dead hubs... :wink:

For an S or 8.4 disc hub, it's .094" wide. p/no 2A4361. sorry no have got. :cry:

Its prob smaller than 10mm....i was just guesstimating from memory. I have one that still looks good. The other is fugged though :(

Yeah thats the one...goes between the inner bearing and inner seal.

Are they available from kcraft or from UK only?

For a drum hub- S/H is probably your best bet, Padstow Pirates would have them, for sure. No Karcraft don't list it.
If you want I'll look tomorrow and PM U if I have one. Weights SFA- I can post it.

I'll make you one from a drum one- put in lathe, face it back, easy peasy... :wink:

Or ring Padstow Pirates- it would cost SFA probably. same as an S... :wink:

No worries. Thanks for that Kev. I might give them a call find out what one would cost me, otherwise i might take the lathe option :wink:

Another way is get some 2.5mm steel tie wire and bend it into a circle. I mean, this thing IS just a bloody spacer- doesn't really DO anything once assembled. Wouldn't matter if it was .090" or .100". :lol: 8)

You could probably blacksmith the old one to be OK. given enough beer.. :wink:
