Hi Guys
I'm doing an overhaul on the swivel hubs on a Patrol GQ.
When I removed the top and bottom bearing caps, there are 2 shims on the bottom cap and one on the top.
After replacing the top and bottom bearings, will I have to re-shim the caps or can I just put the same shims back as they were? I'm not sure if I need to do anything to load the bearings. I presume that they should be Ok with the original shims but just want to make sure.
Thanks in advance.
Neil
