Great video!  The only thing I do different than you when installing races is when I use an old race to put in a new one, I grind off a little metal on the old race before installing the new one, so that the old race comes out easier.  Cheers, Rob.

Interesting to see! On the XJ40, the ABS gear isn't located between the bearings; it is on the axle shaft side.

Yes!  Thanks for making this one.  Much better understanding of what I'm up against when the time comes. Well done.

The for showing this Adam, it was an entertaining video!

Wow great timing, I have a dismantled hub in the garage! Could you also do a video on replacing those lower pivot bearings/setting the clearance on them etc?

Unfortunately for me (DIY klutz), all your videos are for entertainment and educational value only. I still love them even though I don’t get much grease under my nails!

I may have mentioned this before , on the back of the hub there is a small hole this I plug with a screw then when pumping grease in it travels along the shaft to the fulcrum bearings and seals, IF you do not do this you run the risk of water ingress and this will cause those bearings to rust then seize, my preference is to leave the screw in the hole but each to their own.
Prior to using the old race to drive in the new race I always grind a little off the old race outside edge, this makes it easier to remove once the new race is fully home. I always mark the end of the shaft with a line so that I know where the split pin hole is, makes life a little easier, yes I have done a few of these.

That was so interesting Adam thanks for sharing this best regards Andy Allen.

It would have been good to see how you put the inner race in
It couldn't be same as the outer one

I was hoping you'd mention it but you didn't. What size socket did you use as the bearing press to hammer that thing out with?? Also what is the bottom clamp part called that you attach to the puller? I am doing this and need to know the size before I run to the shop to buy one. Thanks!

Is just 120 ft/lb correct for the 2003 XKR? I'm just doing this for the first time and appreciate your class. Not too scary.

Hello Adam I have a a friend who's an accomplished mechanic so  l've done a barter with him . I did all the metalwork on his mk lX so he's done my lRS for my '66 2+2 . Cheees !

Great timing as just about to rebuild mine - thank you. I had struggled with removing the splined shaft as it looked like it had been glued in, i heard that was a dealer quick fix for some issues. Only thinhg i would recommend is not using a steel hammer directly onto bearings but having a piece of aluminium in between.  I also used a piece of brass to drift out the bearings.

You are supposed to put spline loctite on the splines and let it set for 4 hrs. If not you will find you have clicking splines when you pull off.

PSA: he flips the old race before flushing it to give it an edge to knock out! Dont be like me and punch it in how he initially showed as it has no lip to knock it back out.

Should have used a Swedish Volvo bearing 😉. Just kidding, send it!

Could you possibly service grease the bearing through the ABS sensor hole, or wouldn't that work?
I know an amateur fix on Citroen XM (owned two) for the rear swing arm bearing was to drill and fit a small grease nipple. They were notorious for ceasing up without it, especially on salty roads.

A superficially simple process with a lot of opportunities to get it wrong. Is it prudent or desirable to check the other side, in case it's nearly equally worn?

15:45 Humm, not ideal. I would not put pressure on modern bearings balls or rollers in this case. I would instead press the bearing center par on the hub seperately. These are fragile and may not last as long. Especially with Chinesium bearings, a big no!
