Crappy hubs be crappy...

[Labcanary]

Orange offered me a new Pro 5 for a bit less than that. Felt exxy when they first offered, am rethinking that now I've seen what their retail is!

You know what you need to do

We've been telling home to torch the Renault and Alfa for years.

Someone else out there has your approach to fixing old Meganes

If the sound in the engine not goes away then do this? #mechanic #shortsfeed

Lol, four hits with a sledge and didn't even break anything! So quaint.

How are the bearings spaced? Floating tube between bearings with a straight able or axle with machined lips to spacer the bearings?

Pressing a bearing in (particularly if cocked) can create a burr up against the outer race face which will result in the bearings being preloaded too much/being crunchy when you tighten the axle. Pull the main hub bearings back out and give it a good clean.paying particular attention to the faces on the hub body where the outer bearing race is pressed up against.

Yeah, I just ran out of patience with it… It was like this (not as bad though) before I pulled it apart, so I think it was manufactured with too much preload. I did check for burrs or debris in the seat of the bore.
It’s an axle with machined lips.

Now I have an aesthetic dilemma… Staying with black is the safe choice, and I think Orange ones on the bright orange frame is a bit much. Am thinking raw silver ones would work though for some “subtle” bling…

Silver goes with anything.

Silver goes with anything.

Those green Hope hubs I bought don't.

You might get a very special price from Orange now they're in Administration..

I’m suspecting that’s what helped them offer a nice price… Hope they still send it!

Aesthetic dilemma solved by them only having black ones. Oh well - I’ll live. $420 for a pair including shipping feels like a decent deal. I assume that’s their cost price, so I’m happy with that for support on a wheel warranty that had expired.
