RE: [Quantum Owners] Saloon rear wheel bearings.

2020-05-23 Thread susanandmartin 
Jim’s method is good, ISTR there is also an alternative (from Haynes manual?) 
to tighten nut to 20NM then slacken off by ¼ turn IIRC. Jim, correct me if I’m 
wrong, but aim is to not have excessive play, but more importantly there must 
be some play. Martin

Subject: Re: [Quantum Owners] Saloon rear wheel bearings.

Assuming the rear brakes are Mk2 Fiesta as normal on the saloon, there should 
not be a spacer between the bearings.
I can only assuming somebody fitted one as they were incorrectly over 
tightening the hub nut.

On the Mk1 and Mk2 fiesta the hub nut is only tightened enough to take the play 
out of the bearings.
Fit the wheel and feel for play in the bearings by rocking the rim , very 
gently tighten the nut until you can't feel the play anymore.
Spin the wheel and tighten the nut a little more until you can feel a slight 
drag and then back it off very slightly.
Then fit the cage and the split pin onto the nut to lock it.

[Quantum Owners] Saloon rear wheel bearings.

2020-05-23 Thread russ price 
Changing the drums on the saloon i was surprised to find a solid spacer 
between the 2 bearings. I  have come across 'crush tubes' between bearings 
and solid spacers with shims to get correct bearing play but it's hard to 
imagine Ford drums were made so precise as to be able to use a spacer 
without shims. With the new drums and  the spacer in place there is too 
much play in the bearings, in a non covid world i would probably go to the 
local workshop get 10 thou taken off and shim as needed, however with covid 
it's not an option, i can't see why they are needed so can any one tell me 
why leaving them out would be a bad idea ?
