Anyone have experience with the rear hubs?


I looked through the rave, the process seems pretty easy. is it really?


There are no "c" clips or anything in the pumpkin that have to be unhooked?


Anyone have a good source of parts?


Price?

 

I hope you have some good air tools available. Removing the stake nut and torquing can be quite a chore to 360lbs. So you will need a torque wrench that will measure to 400lbs. Also a good gear puller or press is needed.

I replaced my right rear hub about a year ago.

 

I do not use impact for them. that is for Ralph and sissies
pop center cap from road wheel. use 1 1/4" (fits best) socket and breaker bar to break loose the stake nut (you can use a cheater bar, if you are a women). the rest is a cinch.

there is also a dimpled flare that recesses into the spline on those nuts. I use a little nail set to pop it up.

 

32mm works just fine Dusty! Use no more than an 8" breaker bar to ensure manliness.

 

until Ralph uses a 32 with an impact and smooths the nut, then 1 1/4 fits best

 

360lbs, not a problem, I got a 1 inch air gun.


where to buy the part?

 

So I guess all the guys in the shop at Rovers North and Lucky 8 are sissies? Good to know I'm in good company. I'm pushing 50 and have learned that air is a good thing and I will use it any chance I get.

 

LOL,


no sissies, smarter

 

Not totally a cinch. You need to make sure you get the correct product to seal the hub to the axle splines. I posted about it: https://landroverforums.com/forum/di...splines-63707/. When you put it all back together, you can use your breaker bar and your body as a torque wrench. 360 ft.-lbs. is 360 pounds 1 ft. from the nut so just figure out where you need stand on the bar based on how much you weigh.

 

yep....sissies!
they prolly get manicures and wear velvet work gloves, too.
