Hi I've refitted new bearings, when I do up the bearing backing plate it cause the axle to lock up, same on both sides, bearings same width as old ones . Can anyone help please
Thanks guys, when I fit the axles without tightening the backing plate, it all turns freely, as soon as I tighten the backing plates it locks up, the bearings move freely out of the diff, it's just a bearing and lock ting, I've noticed the bearings protrude approx 1 mm from the diff housing. Ive measured the old bearing against the new one and they are the same
The retaining plate should contact only the outer race portion in order to pinch / secure the bearing in the axle tube, thus keep the whole bearing from turning.
Are you using the outer retainer plates that were removed originally? The retainers weren't flipped or damaged in the bearing to axle assembly (pressing) process, right? :huh:
What is the reasoning for even replacing the axle bearings? The cause may help us to determine the existing issue.
Was the correct axle bearing retainer used? ABS and non-ABS vehicle retainers differ as an example.
