rear discs

[reevio]

went to euro car parts and got some rear discs for the valver do i need to press the bearings in or have they given me the wrong discs

[Neal]

you need to press the bearings in... they never come from the factor with bearings.

[reevio]

yeah i was aware they never had bearing was unsure if they were correct or not as never had the rear discs off does anyone know what sort of pressure will it take to press them in

[Neal]

not much to put new bearings in new discs, you can probably tap them in with a socket.

[reevio]

cool was thinking of using a bottle jack and trapping it between a hard place and press it in

i got some rear discs and bearings which i hope are the right bearings, when they're pressed in, should they fit flush with each end side of the discs?

[Wicked Neo]

here is what they look like with the bearings in

[bidderman1969]

is there a ridge inside the disc to push the bearing upto/against then?

[Neal]

yes, the bore has a 'base' to it. Just press em in until you can get the circlip in the groove.

The bearings are supposed to have a wiper lipped seal on one side which goes on the stub axle side. Genuine Ren ones do, anyway.

When i bought my rear bearings from Unipart they also had this lipped seal.
