Thanx for creating this thread mate.
Is any one able to clarify which way round the metal scraper ring goes on?
I tried assembling the way it looks MR did it and it wasn't going together well at all so i swapped it round the other way and everything went in beautifully.
Basically, the scraper ring is shaped a bit like a Z... I have fitted mine so that one end of the Z sits inside swivel housing and the other end of the Z sits outside the scraper seal... further to the desription... the way that I have fitted the scraper ring matches the profile of the step inside the swivel housing.
Also, what do you mean MR when you say "bed the scraper seals in"?
Hi mate I had to go and re read what I wrote to get the context. When I wrote Bed I am talking about the rubber seals and the steal scraper, they will seat or bed into each other and really only go 1 way. There is no mistake, when they seat in you will know, sounds like you got it. I had another look at the pic and things are in the right way, maybe the pic lack a little clarity though, I can just make out the shape of the scraper. Just.Quote:

And NOT this way

Sorry mate it's difficult to tell without having it in front of me. Match the steal ring to the rubber seals as a 3some. That will clarify how it sits into the hub. Then the retaining plates will sit flat over them. Mock fit them and the plates onto the back and it should be pretty clear.
ok thanks for your help.
I did do a mock fit and it all sits beautifully if steel ring is fitted as in first pic.... I just wasn't sure if it needed to be fitted the other way and then all squashed in tight when doing up the bolts.
One last question... do you know what this washer is for?
(Gu hubs by the way)

That is a snip from the opening post in this thread. The washer you are holding is pictured in the middle of that diagram and is called a Lock Washer and sits under the top nut holding the wheel bearings on. If you have GU setup and are using the round nuts with the holes then this is redundant.Quote:

Note also that the exploded diagram is there for the scraper seals too mate.
yes i read the whole thread before posting and now that you say that, I can see what you mean..... I just found it difficult to read the diagram and the pictures were not clear for my dodgy eyes.
Thank you so much for your help
Hey. I am wanting to do this rebuild in the next few months. What are good brands of kits to get and where to get them.
Been looking on ebay, are the drivetech 4x4 ones any good. They use the toyo bearings.
