Hi list,
I managed to whack out the old bearings in my stub axle the other evening and
while the Kamasa 14mm long reach socket seems none the worse for wear any one
can tell by looking at my 1/2" short extension that it has been severely
absused by the BFH.
Last night I took the new bearings out of the fridge and with light tapping
inserted them.
Tonight having unwrapped my brand new tapered reamer I have reamed the
bearings. Whoever I have found that the new king pin is a REALLY TIGHT FIT
is it supposed to be really tight? Tight so you can't swivel it by hand in
the stub axle on the bench.
What do you think? Given that my reamer is brand new and that I really
reamed it good and proper I would think it was ok to be really tight it just
seems tight.
With the king pin kit came a rubber seal and an O-ring I used the seal
because that was what the old one had. Is the O-ring an alternative and if
so does it matter which I used?
I think this is all for now, I have to go and search for my spare trunnion so
I can finish the build up on the bench.
