Hello im new to this forum found some helpful tips so far. I replaced both my cv axles yesterday along with the brake pads, upper & lower balljoints, tie rod ends, and some wheel seals. I also put on some warn premium manual hubs.
All was pretty simple except when it came to the wheel bearings. I checked for play before taking it apart while it was jacked upand had none so i figured the bearing were ok. So now that i have it all together there is a lil bit of play in the passanger side.
I replaced the drivers side inner seal since i damaged it. One problem there when i put the seal in is the seal suppose to hold the bearing down or is there suppose to be some space in between the seal and inner bearing? Or should i have set the bearing in the race before putting the seal on?
On the passanger side i just repacked the outer bearing and added grease to the inner and this one had space between the seal and inner bearing. So im a lil lost on how it should go on.
I didnt have the locknut socket so i used the 2 screwdrivers and another big one to screw it on. Tightened it and back off a lil and checked for play, had none or so i thought. I found the socket at napa incase i need it later.
So now i have it how it is and i drove it around for like half an hr in the city and i remembered that to check the hubs if they get warm wich could indicate a bad bearing. The drivers side is a little warm like hold it for 5 seconds before it starys to burn ur hand. the passanger side is a little hotter. Is this normal? Could it be becuase i have new brake pads? Maybe i didnt set the bearings correctly? Any help would be apreciated[emoji20] sorry for crappy write up, did it during my lunch brake while eating
