Guys,
Some advice please.
As some of you will no doubt remember, I have e 2002 95 series with the 1KDFTV engine and a few mods, OME 2inch lift, sliders, snorkel, bash plates etc. It's mainly used for rough track work, nothing extreme and it never carries loads heavier than my tools and recovery gear, which never come out, and the family.
Problem is I keep going through wheel bearings on the front. I'm getting them from milners and they arrive in a toyota box and are koyo items exactly the same as those I originally took out so I'm assuming they're OEM kit. I always use new seals obviously with exception of the one that fits inboard of the hub (with the metal shield).
Now I'm pressing them in properly with a 30 tonne press etc and can't think of what I can be doing wrong but the last set have not lasted 500 miles and they're howling again,so, what am I doing wrong?
Obviously on uk tracks they get exposed to a lot of water but still, they're sealed bearings anyway?
Any ideas or detailed fitting instructions greatly appreciated...
Tommo
