Broken rear hub bearing circlip
Posted: Mon May 11, 2020 7:05 pm
Thornts of this parish has kindly suggested trying to prise the one good ear out of the groove and work around with a thin bladed screwdriver
Just thought I'd check the remaining wisdom available here (couldn't see a similar issue raised before via searches)
[In case anyone's interested in hub method used, I unscrewed the nut a few turns, popped the socket back on then applied pressure via an old spinner.Then lots and lots of heat with paint stripper gun and after a few minutes began the tap the spinner a bit more and soon the hub 'cracked' and moved off the taper]
Thanks All
