Now for a brain teaser...... whats wrong with the 4th foter?? :-)
And foter 2 is a grease packed bearing, bit hard to take a foter of the process as i had grease from arsehol3 to breakfast hahahhahaha, Tony question how much grease should i pack into the hub (roughly)

The main part of the bearing (the bit with the rollers) needs to be packed full of grease, the bearing cone needs a good smear of grease. As for the rest of the hub it doesn't really matter how much or little, I normally just put a light smear of grease in there to stop it rusting and catch any dust that might get in there. Put a light smear on the hub seals as well to lubricate the running surface.
Nice job so far, your work bench is just like mine.......needs a good tidy up.
So breaker bar an rubber mallet (my favourite bashin thing), then i ve got the centre out. Ive followed the instructions in the pdf attach above. The shaft had visible wear but under 1.5 thou so no worries im rekon. The photo of the crown wheel bolts and threads and the 12v hammer gun, I rekon they were loktited in were hard as f!@k to get out this unit is sh1t hot a definate favourite. My pin punches werent long enough to knock the shaft lock pin out so used a small phillips head s/driver
IF YA DONT GET STUCK YA AINT TRYIN HARD ENOUGH........OR YA TOOK THE CHICKEN TRACK WARNING: TOWBALLS USED WITH SNATCHSTRAPS DO KILL!!
had a bit of a brain fart and took a bit to read the instructions properly (theyre in effen small print) so took a while to work out how to get the pins and springs in and a couple of these probably werent helping. The act of getting the lokka in is piece of pi55. Following the instructions i greased relevant bits so they hold in position, then with the pins in the slotted groove stepped bit down i lifted into their correct location with a small screw driver then as ya can see in the fpters pushed the springs up n in very easy then just a case of putting back together exactly. Hence why i marked crown wheel and bearing carriers with liquid paper so's could realign, was a bit fiddly due to bulky heavy bloody thing (aligning the bearing carriers that is theyre grooved mountings and must go back exactly the same). Did i say how effen heavy the centre is complete, getting it back in was hard and a smater bloke may use a trolley jack to assist The third ta last foter is making sure u use the pin punch to dent over the shaft locking pin so it cant come out. And the last two are WTF are these bits left over now its all back together hahahahahahhahahahahahaha no longer required. Tomorrow axles back in wheels on WOO EFFEN HOOOOOOOO
