Front Hub Rebuild, Land Rover Defender, 1998 onwards (90/110)

A walk through of the rebuild of a front hub including hub bearing adjustment and drive shaft end float, on a Land Rover Defender, manufactured from 1998 onwards . . . . . , SHOW MORE for Torque settings.
Although this video tutorial is specific to a 1998-on Defender, the principle is the same for many 4x4 vehicles.
In this video we replace the Hub, Calliper and Brake pads.
Carrying out adjustments and checks to:
Hub Bearing Load Adjustment
Drive shaft End Float
And finally bleeding the brakes (pipe and jar method)
Torque figures:
Hub Nut,
1. Torque to 23 lbf ft (30 Nm) then spin the hub to settle the bearings.
2. Final torque to 148 - 163 lbf ft (200 - 220 Nm) , spin and then measure end float.
3. If adjusting and replacing shim spacers repeat the above process.
Calliper securing bolts, 60 lbf ft (82 Nm)
Hub drive flange bolts 48 lbf ft (65 Nm)
Road Wheel,
Steel wheels 80lbf ft (100 Nm)
Alloy wheels 95 lbf ft (130 Nm)
Heavy duty wheels 125 lbf ft (170Nm)

What’s exactly is he doing with the feeler gauges @ 4.24? End float?

[@andrewharvey1849]

Yeah, looks like it. The service manual says to use the dial indicator and I think that's better, because it's quite a tight range (0.08 to 0.25 mm). It would be difficult to obtain an exact measurement with feeler gauges.

I'd expect an "instructional video" would include torque specs and other helpful tips...

[@EducationalMechanics]

Hi Jean, torque figures are in the description and you're right, an instructional video would include tips and a narration, but this video was made for a college to help students revision for a practical exam, they requested no narration to the video.

Could you give torque values in your videos please?

[@EducationalMechanics]

+UKDPO sure thing, I've added the torque figures to the description of this video and will be putting them in video for future uploads.
Thanks, Matt.
