Hi

When I opened rear wheel bearing of my X300/94, I found out that on the other side there was only one big spacer between the bearings and on the other side there was also a thin spacer (backed in a wrong order when looking the drawing). Looking by eyes, the total length of the spacers were about the same both sides. I did not measure those, but started wondering, whether something is wrong. Someone might have been there earlier.

I have not yet put the hubs back, so I still can re-open the bearings easily, but to judge if something is missing, an information about the total length of the spacer(s) would be nice to have. How to check, that the size of the spacers are correct? Could someone help?

 

There is ALWAYS an ADJUSTABLE SPACER (the thin one from 2.22mm to 3.47mm) and a BEARING SPACER (the longer one with only one part number) in the hub assy.

The thin one usually sticks to the bearing and can be accidentally discarded during the repair. (don't be THAT guy)

Thanks for answering.

Is the long part a straight one with a conical end? On the other side the big part was like that and when adding the adjustable spacer, it became straight, conical, straight if looked as a one piece. The other side, where I suspected that the adjustable spacer is missing, was straight, conical, straight. I doubt, that the adjustable spacer was stuck with the main spacer. It was not with the bearing race. I have to check.

Another issue regarding the hub: the manual says, that the hub nuts should be renewed. The old ones anyhow look ok. Should I get new ones? They seem to be quite valuable.

 

YES!!!
