damn lucky - SUPER crazy!!!i thought so, about that washer but am i just lucky that its been okay this whole time with out it?
crazy
i cant figure out if my bearing cup on the inner side of rotor is pressed in the rotor or not
The bearings may physically fit 2ways, but they can only fit together 1 way. The outer larger part is called a race.The inner smaller part with the rollers is called the cone bearing or cone for short. I have never seen the cone pressed onto the spindle. They have always come off with my fingers. The race is always a light press fit. If you replace it, you will have to check the rotor run out. If it is out of spec, the rotor will need to be lathe-turned.
But here's the deal: if the race is still tight in the rotor, and shows no physical damage and has no visible bluing on it, Then I see no reason to change it.If it is damaged or blued, well then new is the thing to do.I would only replace the rotor if the center-hole will no longer accept the press fit. Sealing the seal is not a big deal.
I have noticed that somewhere along the line, replacement rotors are arriving with new races pre-installed, making it easy for you to bolt them on. That's a bonus.
Yeah got a new rotor, new replacement spindle and new bearing. Installing now.
Thank Jeff, we got this one for now.
I'll get you on the next one
Just because there's bluing doesn't mean there's no damage. If the bearing got excessively hot I'd replace it. Wheel bearings is one place I would not go on the cheap.
