    Yes, probably the ticking/rattling sound is worth starting a new thread. Fortunately the clutch works ok, but I'd better know where it comes from. To bleeding. I remember, for other cars which I had there was always a rule to begin at the furthest caliper from the driver and proceed in order...

    Hi Tel Boy, Thanks for your comments. Unfortunately I do not know the history of my clutch. I made a record of that sound. It sounds springy I would say, that's why I think it is one or more springs on the plate which is loose. It's not the best record but maybe you can hear it. If not I'll...

    Hi Tel Boy, So I did the other side as well. This time the rotor and the bearing went out very easily. The only problem I had were the upper studs. When tighting the nuts these studs were comming out from their threads, so it took me a while to tighten them. I replaced the other rotor as well...

    Hi Tel Boy, thanks a lot. You make my life with this car much easier! I plan do the same job for the other side this weekend. Then I start working on the load sensitive valve, the challenge will be to loosen the bolts and especially the bleeding screw. Hopefully I will be able to bleed the...

    Hi Tel Boy, great to hear you again! I am done with the job. It was a real nightmare, but not because of the job itself but because of unexpected problems like stuck things, rusty or worn bolts and screws where it tooks hours to loosen or replace them. But ok, now there is no squeaking sound...

    Hello Tel Boy, hope you are fine. I think I need your help again. Today I spend few minutes in order to adjust a preload. I started by 2 shims up and 2 down, the old ones were like that. The knuckle was very loose, I could even move it up and down by hand. So I took out one shim up and down, ie...

    Finally I had a bit a success today and made to tap it out, disassembled and cleaned everything. In the next days I will try to adjust a preload and put all together. I have noticed some rusty brake lines and cracked brake hose which I will replace at a time. When bleeding brakes can I use the...

    Hi Tel Boy, I waw waiting a long time for the 54mm socket, so I jumped into it today. I removed the both 54mm nuts but I can not remove the rotor/disc. I can see the wheel bearing but I can not pull the disc out. It there something more to release? Can you help me where is the problem? Thanks...

    Hi Tel Boy, do you think it's a big problem to do it without a spring tension gauge, I do not have any, if I just applied the right torque? Otherwise a big thank you, I'd send you a good bottle if possible.

    Tel Boy, are you still there? Can you help me with the torques? Thanks.

    OK, there is another kit with the shims. I was confused because they say that it is for vehicles with auto hubs. Hopefully it will fit: https://www.euro4x4parts.com/en/parts/ref=PKP2067/swivel-rebuilt-kit/oe=0 When you say "adjust the pre-load", you mean by a specific torque? Do you know how...

    No problem. I appreciate your help. I sourced this kit: https://www.euro4x4parts.com/en/parts/ref=PKP2028/swivel-rebuild-kit/oe=0 And another one which also contains some square washers. Do I need the square ones? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/232585647338

    Sorry, when reading your comment at home again, I see that you specified the torque of the nut 78nm. I was thinking of replacing the bearing when all is disassembled again in order not to do the same operation in near future.

    Thanks, it starts to make a sense. By "there was no change" I meant that there was the same kind of movement, so this means that the king pin bearings are worn as well? The front wheel bearing is just behind the 54mm socket? Do you know the correct torques? Don't you have the OEM numbers so...

    Yes, as you say, there is no problem with the hub, I diassembled it, cleaned and reassembled but no change. That sound still there, this time it was like squeaking with clattering. Only when the hub is locked. While reassembling I noticed some hard wear on the nut, see photo and made a short...

    I removed the wheel and checked the area between the disc and the back plate but I didn´t find anything. I guess if there was something I´d hear that squeak all the time, not only when the hub locked. So I removed the cap from the hub but didn´t go further since I couldn´t find pliers to remove...

    Thanks for your comments. When I heard that sound first time I lifted the wheel and spun it by hand, but I didn't hear anything. I will check all that carefully. I would be lucky if it was only some stone. Hopefully it's not a differential. Worn diff would have some symptons when I locked only...

    Hi, I'm trying to source some grease. Which kind should be used, with lithium or any kind of a synthetic grease? Thanks.

    I did not mean to buy it before checking. Just a thought. Thanks.

    Thanks. Yes, I have manual ones. I will check it. I have never seen selling only inside components of a hub. I thought that when once broken, the whole hub must be replaced. The guy on the video sourced somewhere a gear. Do you have any idea where to get it from, in case I would need it?

    Hi, I hear a squeaking sound from the front axle, like when metal rubs against metal. It happens only when the passenger´s free wheel locking hub is locked(AWD not activated). When the hubs are unlocked there is no such sound, also if only driver´s hub locked, there is no sound either. If I...
