shim thickness in my BJ8 is 0.047. Make sure your assembly is like the
attachment.<br>

<br>
Yes, the factory parts list I have (AKD3523 shows the shims between the <br>
outer bearing and the tabbed washer. A previous owner drew an arrow <br>
showing the correct location. The shims go between the distance piece <br>
and the outer bearing.<br>
<br>
I've only done the shims on a few Healeys, but I've never seen that many <br>
shims required. Less than 0.060" thickness required.<br>
<br>
Can you send some photos of the hardware? Are the parts from a later <br>
BJ8, or earlier 3000 (different outer bearing, shims, distance piece, <br>
etc)? If the later BJ8, do you have the spacer that goes between the <br>
axle and the inner bearing?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
