A different approach to 80 series front axle rebuilds. Really?

Have the same wheel bearing grease as Chris but unsure on what cv grease is good to use.

 

[Chris]

In danger of over thinking this. As long as the grease isn't from Spar or Nisa and says bearing grease / CV grease you'll be fine. I just use the most commonly available Moly CV grease which you can get in Halfords and any other High Street car shop. A bit different with the bearing grease on the off roader because of the harsh conditions. It has salt water resistant and anti wash out properties. It says.

warren i have found a good contact for doing koyo hi cap wheel bearings at very good prices. let m,e know if you want some.

Stu if you can help here are the bearing details

Top and bottom or are they called trunion bearings:

Part No: 30304AJR-2 (replaces 30304AJR-2-N High Capacity)
Brand: KOYO


Inner and outer wheel bearings Timken:

JLM104948/JLM104910


LM102949/LM102910

Does £102 seem about right for all the bearings for a front rebuild those are the 4 trunion and inner and outer wheel bearings? Either SKF or KOYO in brand?

 

[Chris]

Given the size and typical Milner cost of the small trunion bearings it sounds a little high but not much that's eight bearings in total for £102 ave of £12.75 each. Price for 1 trunion bearing is typically less than £8.
