rear drum hub oil seals - daddyfixit - 01-01-2017 checked rear brakes at the weekend; both bearings open and just the flimsy rubber seal and a washer on the stub axle to seal them ??? used to seeing a proper lip type seal in a drum bearing. has anybody got any pictures of the hub seal set-up please ??? RE: rear drum hub oil seals - cully - 01-01-2017 I have a pair of good quality New drum wheelbearing kits if your interested RE: rear drum hub oil seals - daddyfixit - 01-01-2017 (01-01-2017, 11:40 AM)cully Wrote: I have a pair of good quality New drum wheelbearing kits if your interested hi cully, my bearings are ok, just that the oil seal is a shite design ? how should it be assembled into the drum....or left on the stub axle as you push drum on ?? RE: rear drum hub oil seals - welshpug - 01-01-2017 there's no oil in there to seal in, bearings have seals on them pre fitted, seal on the back is just a simple dust seal which sits on the collar, metal cap on the front after the nut is fitted and staked. nothing wrong with the design, very long lasting bearings, particular arrangement has been in use for nigh on 35 years across various vehicles. RE: rear drum hub oil seals - r3k1355 - 01-01-2017 As above the bearing is a sealed unit, the other parts are just dust covers. RE: rear drum hub oil seals - daddyfixit - 02-01-2017 trust me, the rear of bearings are open on both wheels, I wanted to see how the dust seals fitted to keep them covered over. I know wheel bearings are usually sealed so this threw me when I looked at my own.... hub oil seal/hub grease seal are fitted on many cars--tapped in after the wheel bearing has been put into the hub. RE: rear drum hub oil seals - welshpug - 02-01-2017 if the seal is missing then someone has been in messing before. you only find a separate seal on taper bearings like a landrover. theres no need for one on the peugeot bearings. RE: rear drum hub oil seals - cully - 02-01-2017 the bearings in my kit are sealed bearings there is a second dust cover that fits on the inside of the drum on the axle as per the drawing below RE: rear drum hub oil seals - r3k1355 - 02-01-2017 (02-01-2017, 10:58 AM)daddyfixit Wrote: trust me, the rear of bearings are open on both wheels, I wanted to see how the dust seals fitted to keep them covered over. They sound pretty f*cked then, would be worth looking at changing them both for good bearings. |
