Great video! The only thing I do different than you when installing races is when I use an old race to put in a new one, I grind off a little metal on the old race before installing the new one, so that the old race comes out easier. Cheers, Rob.
I may have mentioned this before , on the back of the hub there is a small hole this I plug with a screw then when pumping grease in it travels along the shaft to the fulcrum bearings and seals, IF you do not do this you run the risk of water ingress and this will cause those bearings to rust then seize, my preference is to leave the screw in the hole but each to their own.
Prior to using the old race to drive in the new race I always grind a little off the old race outside edge, this makes it easier to remove once the new race is fully home. I always mark the end of the shaft with a line so that I know where the split pin hole is, makes life a little easier, yes I have done a few of these.
The for showing this Adam, it was an entertaining video!
I'm glad you liked it!
That was so interesting Adam thanks for sharing this best regards Andy Allen.
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow great timing, I have a dismantled hub in the garage! Could you also do a video on replacing those lower pivot bearings/setting the clearance on them etc?
Yes! Thanks for making this one. Much better understanding of what I'm up against when the time comes. Well done.
Interesting to see! On the XJ40, the ABS gear isn't located between the bearings; it is on the axle shaft side.
Could you possibly service grease the bearing through the ABS sensor hole, or wouldn't that work?
I know an amateur fix on Citroen XM (owned two) for the rear swing arm bearing was to drill and fit a small grease nipple. They were notorious for ceasing up without it, especially on salty roads.
Maybe however I would think the ABS sensor might work less well with a lot of grease in that area but I’m not sure. The ABS cars are not as common
I understand your warning about the press but some still wish to see the actual process . We at least I do not hold anything u do as an absolute or hold u accountable . DIY people understand the risks or at least I do . I learned much watching this video . Many parts of the repair can be done but just a few needing a press . U can buy a press or take it to a shop to press those items .
Unfortunately for me (DIY klutz), all your videos are for entertainment and educational value only. I still love them even though I don’t get much grease under my nails!
Great timing as just about to rebuild mine - thank you. I had struggled with removing the splined shaft as it looked like it had been glued in, i heard that was a dealer quick fix for some issues. Only thinhg i would recommend is not using a steel hammer directly onto bearings but having a piece of aluminium in between. I also used a piece of brass to drift out the bearings.
There were some manuals in the 80’s that said to use locktite on the splines. Not a good idea.
As long as you’re careful you won’t make any marks or damaged anything
I found a wheel hub puller from Germany that worked well. Some form of locktite was used on my car and it was very difficult to get the spline shaft off without the hub puller.
Hello Adam I have a a friend who's an accomplished mechanic so l've done a barter with him . I did all the metalwork on his mk lX so he's done my lRS for my '66 2+2 . Cheees !
It’s like the deal I have with Dan the body work man. I do all his mechanical work
@@LivingWithAClassic Adam , unfortunately this doesn't always work out 50/50 .... If l retailed my work it would be about £16 k . I don't think an lRS would come to that amount ........
You are supposed to put spline loctite on the splines and let it set for 4 hrs. If not you will find you have clicking splines when you pull off.
I have done it without locktite for 15 years. Never had a clicking
A superficially simple process with a lot of opportunities to get it wrong. Is it prudent or desirable to check the other side, in case it's nearly equally worn?
Yes I have recommended it to the customer. I will remove the ABS sensor to see if the grease inside is as contaminated

Should have used a Swedish Volvo bearing 😉. Just kidding, send it!
15:45 Humm, not ideal. I would not put pressure on modern bearings balls or rollers in this case. I would instead press the bearing center par on the hub seperately. These are fragile and may not last as long. Especially with Chinesium bearings, a big no!
It’s how you’re suppose to do it and the way it has been done since these cars were new. Pressed together like that
Chinese bearings ! In Sweden ! On a Jaguar !
It's very international!
My 1964 Volvo 544 had Lockheed wheel cylinders and my 1988 v12 XJ's had General Motors AC Delco air conditioning, ignition module and turbo 400 transmission from the factory 😉. It truly is a world market for decades. Toyota used a Chevy inline six cylinder from 1947 until 1996 a fun fact very few people know 👍👍
I usually heat the ABS ring Since I don’t want to crack it.
@@daniellandstrom2457 I live in the rust belt in the United States in Buffalo NY where they use salt. Just like Franks hot sauce used on chicken wings I use that heat chit on everything 😉😁😁😁
I wouldn't use a Chinese bearing even on a Kia.
