90 TD5 Hub Bearing replacement

Justin-JP · Jun 25, 2019

Afternoon,
I'm still working on renovating my front hub & brake set up.
Got the new vented disc on and replaced all the bearings while I was there, now working on refurbishing the calipers which I'll get round to this weekend.
But
Hub nut Question.
With the new Bearmach hub bearing kit I got , it included just the one hub nut and the big washer with the flat notch in it. But whenever I look at video's online they always have the two hub-nut set up.
I sort of remember reading something about a switch to one nut for the TD5 model but wanted to check.
And
Do I just fold over the edge of the washer over the nut to keep it from coming loose ?
thanks

Actually the notched washer I took off wasn't bent over the not at all anyway

Punch an indentation

into the nut after tightening.

Oh, not sophisticated then

And I've just read that nut should be done up to 210nm ! is that right you think ?

I did mine to 210nm and it welded the outer bearing shell to the stub axle in a 1 mile test drive!!!
I had no choice to replace it again but this time i did it up till it was tight then spun the hub a few times and then a little tweek till my arm said "its done up," no issues after that (4yrs gone by since), so IMO no 210nm is crazy tight.

the spacer in between the 2 bearings is selectable by size different bearings may well require another spacer,if tightening the nut fully put pressure on the bearings it was the wrong spacer for those bearings

Good point but as i say its been 4 years and 25k since i did the job so its not my next job on the list.
