Thread: pressing bearing failed, what is to blame?

I admit you can tell from that picture the spindle shows wearing 'from some little balls' (that should be a green arrow just above your yellow one I guess)

But how come.

That doesn't compute overhere. (and I don't believe it)

You keep saying things don't compute, I am showing you COMPONENTS of which you are confused on, you are also speaking in somewhat of a confusing english so I don't exactly understand...

Now that does compute.

How the little balls touch the spindle ever?

Okay, lets get some termanology here, the first picture is a spindle with the bearing assembly in it, the second picture is the hub with the bearing race(yellow arrow) stuck to it. You said something was 'too big', so it must be the hub that is too small on the end where it has worn(the end where it touches the cv joint), or the bearing must be too big and improperly sized. Just to clarify things, this picture is before you put the spindle back on the car correct?
The balls will probably never touch the spindle, they may however touch the hub and wear the shaft down if the bearing race ever breaks. Shit gets hot, especially when the correct clearance isn't maintained(with correct torque, or momentum as you put it).

Man.

I received a third bearing to confirm it was the spindle. (In real the distributor shipped an extra bearing for free, after a phone call telling me they didn't dig what I showed them)

I probably said something was 'too big'

It is the hub being to small. But why?

I didn't put this spindle back to the car, I took a spindle from the passenger side, this one is drivers side.

I'm still seeing way of tenths clearance between the spindle and the bearing balls.

I'm sorry, terms like race ever breaks just won't compute overhere, maybe Mojo can. (M0J0) on this forum, he is more in to tech terms then I am.

What the heck is a race. I still wonder. Sorry.

Hub

Spindle

You dont know what the race is? I pointed right at it with the arrow...its part of the bearing, theres one on the inside and one on the outside, the balls ride on the race. When you tighten down the axle nut it makes the bearings tighter by expanding the hub and tightening the races against the ball bearings. I'm still confused on why you're posting, what problem are you having exactly? you haven't even installed it in the car yet.

Hmm

A spindle revolves, a hub is stationary.

Comparison with 2 unknowns

Division by zero.

In other worsts, this aint gonna workie workie :P

Just tell me why my hub worn?

lol.

Spindle doesn't move
The hub does
Dont know what you're talking about
you're not listening to a word I'm saying
so I'm done.
