Well not having Italian blood and being a quadriple Pices I'm a bit wishy washy on my nos. I figure ANYTHING is subject to change without notice. May I suggest the following approach: Tell her that you are thinking of purchasing a new (used) Land Rover(expensive Land Rover accessory) but you don't think it is fair for you to spend a large chunk of money on yourself without her getting anything. Ask her if there is something that she has been wanting in that price range so that you could purchase both items. First thing this approach does is show her that even when you are thinking about your car you are also thinking about her and considering her happiness (Of course now occasional flowers for no reason other than love does wonders too). It shows her that you want to be fair in the money side of your relationship and if the two of you need to scrimp a bit for the purchase you both will have a reason to scrimp. Most Women are trained from birth to put the family first. Over time this can be draining and can cause resentments to grow if the Woman is putting the family first and the man is obviously putting himself first. Make it easy for her to put herself first sometimes. It's not easy going against a life time of social conditioning.

It is probably the hub seal behind the bearings. If it is you will need a new one. Be sure it is installed correctly. Check the inner seal race located on the stub axle. Look it over very carefully and replace it if there is ANY signs of wear or a nick. It has to be seated properly and absolutely smooth for the seal lip to make a seal. Be sure to put a thin layer of grease over the race where it meets the seal when you reassemble everything. Turning a new seal on a dry race can destroy the seal of the lip. When you reassemble the spindle on the hub be very carefull not to strech the seal and remember if your wheel bearings are adjusted too loose the spindle can be slightly cocked and widen the seal lip. Good luck on your repair.

From: Zaxcoinc@aol.com Date: Wed, 26 Aug 1998 12:03:49 EDT Subject: Re: Oily front brakes Good post TW, but a bit of hazard on the Brake shoes, Story follows, Minimal LR content. My brother had a failed brake cylinder at a time where I had access to a commercial vapor degreaser. As the shoes were a month old and Renault Dauphine shoes were scarce on the ground, I took them to work and degreased them twice. I wanted to be very cautious, little brothers life and all. All else in the brake system was good, drums in good condition, A-1 brake job in all respects except for those recycled shoes. Tw months later about 3k miles, the shoes failed on hard braking, with resulting, coasting across the intersection with a great deal of squaling and pedal pumping. The shoes had literally exploded and stringy shrapnel was everywhere inside the drums. I concluded that the vapor degreaser had reduced the amount of glue that holds the compound together and resolved that I could find the money to buy new shoes rather than *save*them from inadvertent hydrocarbon contamination.

B While waiting to get to my fathers (2 hrs away) where I can do work on my Rover I have cleaned out my brake drum two times, and thoroughly cleaned the relatively new pads with canned Brakleen stuff. They feel great, although I may replace them once I'm sure the oil is going to stay in the swivel housing where it belongs. > > When you reassemble the spindle on the hub be very carefull not to strech > > the seal and remember if your wheel bearings are adjusted too loose the > > spindle can be slightly cocked and widen the seal lip. > I recently had a hub seal start leaking the day after a replaced it! > Someone else noticed the wheel bearings were loose, and after I tightened > them, it stoped leaking. This is what happened to me, after I did a full swivel overhaul I started to get oil in brakes. By tightening wheel bearings do you mean the mondo nuts that hold the hub on? The ones that go on right before the drive flange? The service manual describes measuring float with a dial guage so I just made sure it wiggled a tiny bit. Should I crank these down?

They are only 2 1/16 AF, that isn't that mondo. The inner one is what sets the bearing float, which is supposed to be 10 thou, I think. That is enough that you can feel the hub wobble a tiny bit when you spin it, but not so much you notice without paying special attention. The outer nut is there to keep the inner one from backing off. David - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -[ <- Message 24 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 980827 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

Banks will, there's this new 4 story frame apartment building going up 1/2

spent the last several days loading the building with all sorts of
potentially flying missles. Gonna knock the computers down and move 'em

TeriAnn,
This number is hand stamped into the outer circumference of the differential
housing casting. 62411 if I remember correctly. There are other numbers cast
into the iron, but this is stamped in. 3/8" to 1/2" high numbers.
Thanks again.

The service manual describes measuring float with a dial guage ;>so I just made sure it wiggled a tiny bit. Should I crank these down? Front wheel bearings do not seem to last long if all the free play is removed (cranked down). The manual states that you should set the free play with a dial guage. I do not know anyone who actually does it that way. When you first assemble the bearings in place tighten the nut down tight to set the bearings in place then loosen the nut. Some people crank it down then back off one flat on the nut. I tighten it down to set the bearings and then turn it to get a feel for the bearings under pressure. Next I back the nut off a few flats to get a feeling of the bearings not under pressure. I use grease on my front bearings. I put some extra on the outside of the bearing. I try to adjust the nut to the place where I can not feel any side to side wobble but I can see wobble movement in the grease. The bearings do not have a tight feel at this point. This is about as close as you can get without loading the bearings. One problem is slop in the nuts. When you tighten the outer nut it can push the inner nut in to take up your carefully adjusted free play.

From: Adrian Redmond <channel6@post2.tele.dk> Date: Fri, 28 Aug 1998 00:02:11 +0200 Subject: Re: Oily front brakes Wewll I spent the evening pulling the drums, hubs and brakes off the left side - it could be due to a SPOT (Stupid Present Owner Trick). First I checked the oil level in the swivel housing, as I guess that this is where the oil is coming from (where else?) - the level was up to the filler plug, and the trickle that ran out when I unscrewed the plug was clean, clear brown gear oil. The mess inside the drum was black oil. An experiment on the bench of mixing gear oil and tractor axle grease (which I use to pack the hub bearings - showed that, when whipped, the resulting mess is grey. Add a little brake shoe dust from the other drum (which I checked and found dry) and the gunge is black. Ergo! Inspection showed that the axle shaft plate and brake backplate are fine, no leaks and the liquid gasket seals are OK (yes I did let them cure before pressing them toigether). So my theory is as follows - the hub bearing was too loose, thus allowing the axle end to play a little in the free wheel hub (AVM's) and oil from the swivel housing to enter the FWH. From there it mixed with the grease in the hub bearing, and dribbled out of the rear hub seal, into the brake area, being whipped around by the hub flages in the process. Evidence to support this theory - the bolts holding the FWH's were loose - all six of them. The Axle had a little play in the hub end - another 1/6th of a turn before putting in the cotter pin would have helped. The retaining nuts which tighten the hub/bearings onto the axle shaft were too easy to undo for my liking. Three reasons for oil moving from one compartment to another. This seems to have happened today, as the car was definatly not dripping yesterday (witness workshop floor) and its braking characteristics changed today. Luckily despite the mess, the oil had not soaked into the brake shoes - a wash in petrol, a minute in a flame, a wash in water, and a light sanding, and they are as dry, coarse, and light grey as before. I assembled the lot and checked the right hand side too - that was OK. Then I took her for a drive on the lane, and did a series of emergency stops - starting at 30 kph and moving up to 80 kph. Light control of steering wheel to monitor possible pulling to one side - no problem - braked straight every time, and even allowed the wheels to lock tight. This time I tightened the lot - maybe the hub/bearings are a little too tight, but I guess that's better than loose. The hubs are stiff to turn without wheels on, but with wheel and tyre, the wheel rolls freely when jacked up. I seem to remember, that just before I went to Greenland in May, I had a rolling frame which wasn't rolling, and I needed to get it finished and on wheels so that I could clean up the workshop and park the other vehicles indoors. I assembled the swivel housings that evening and got the frame rolling in time to clean up - but did not tighten everything up - you know "I'll do that when I get home" - sort of thing. Well, six weeks later, I was home, finished the rebuild, sent the wagon to the mechainc to check it before the MOT, then went for the MOT inspection. Neither I, my mechanic, or the MOT station spotted the fault - which could have resulted in a nasty event which could have ruined my day. It's funny - I am used to taking things apart and rebuilding - both machines, computers and electronics, and my usual rule is, do it properly, don't cut corners, and if you have to leave something half done. leave it undone, so that you know that what you have done is complete. This time I seem to have fooled myself - which serves as a timely warning to fiddlers mechanical under circumstances stressful. OK, I could havce avoided the oil brakes by using grease in the swivel housing - as many here have recommended. However, I would have clocked up many miles before discovering that my left wheel was held on by luck and gravity. So I guess I'll stick to gear oil. Thanks to all the words of advice, analysis and warning - I think I have solved it - though for safety's sake, I'm pulling the rear drums tomorrow for a look-see. The the front again in about a week just to be sure. Drive safely now... :-) Adrian Redmond - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -[ <- Message 44 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 980827 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
