Title: Wheel Bearing Siezed
Post by: L90OOK on June 01, 2007, 22:58:53: My 110 decided that it had enough of its O/S/R wheel bearing today so it totally seized & locked the whole transmission up :shock: #-o ...no warning signs either :cry:
After getting it home I have managed to get the wheel bearing nuts off...after drilling & chiseling the inner nut off :shock:
To top it off the inner bearing race has welded itself to the stub axle so I can't get the hub off...tomorrow the Oxy Acetylene comes out :twisted:
Below is a picture of the bearing when I took the drive flange off...
I'll put some more photo's tomorrow of the progress [-o<

saves hours of faffing around with the bottles :roll:
then when the cage has broken up slide the hub off,grind a slit in the race and whack it, off it pops, polish stub up in lathe or by hand with hemry cloth
and bobs ya uncle :lol:

Hello mate

All done...new stub axle though :cry: :-({|=
The bearing nut was welded to the stub axle...never mind, a big hammer & cold chisel sorted that :) ...& the oxy acetylene sorted the rest :lol: :shock:

Did the other side too...just to be safe.
Whipped the diff pan off to check ARB ok & replaced the breather pipes.
All in all a good days work & total bill of about Ã‚Â£140...not bad for a seized bearing :? :roll:

Below are the pictures of the hub & what remains of the bearing!...I must stop reversing it into the sea to launch the boat :roll:

PMSL...what are you launching the QE2 :lol: :twisted:

I'm pretty sure no salt water got in...the grease wasn't emulisified nor was the EP90 in the diff. The drive flanges were sealed well with sealant ...just one of those things I guess :roll:

Hi

I would have got the inner race off the stub axle but the threads were stripped so no point...new stub axle it was :roll:

I do like the idea of garages fixing my land rovers for free though :shock: :twisted: 8)
