Greetings All. Replacing front wheel bearings. (850 drum) with tapered type. Old manual I have say's front hub nut 60 ftlb. Was this for original roller type. Would it be the same for tapper bearings? Also, the inner roller bearing had a huge circlip. I obviously bin that as I cant see the recess anymore. Thanks Alex. |

1. 60 ft/lb still applies: its the strength of the thread, not what its holding. 2. I've never seen a circlip on a bearing assembly in a mini, any more details on that? |

Thanks Harley. I was worried about 'crushing" it, but thinking about it, I presume the new spacer stops that. Just found the number of the circlip -21A1307- It describes it as a "Spacer". It sounds like it sets the oil seal at a specific spot. The new oil seal just bottoms out on the bearing cup. Thanks again. Alex |

The circlip is really just a spacer to keep the inner seal in the correct position. There is no groove but I put it back in there when I did mine - (I think) |

Is it a circlip, or the seal spacer (which looks like a piston ring). Tapered rollers take a wider spacer, but you can run without it if careful fitting the seal. |

Thanks too Doc. It sat in nice and square. I'll leave it off. Now to the next side. Last week coming home from work it was whinning like hell. I cleaned the roller bearings in petrol (just curious) and they were not as loose as i thought. They free spin and if I spin em fast enough, one has a funny vibration. Anyhow, tapers will be better and safer. Cheers alex. (Crap! The keyboards dirty. NoW I'm in trouble!) |
