Hub was created by dustyfox
I have got it right have'nt I. The hub is the thing that the brake discs and the wheel bearings sits in. You see I got the wrong wheel bearing and it had worn out the ring that the right wheel bearing should fit in. Ive added a picture from another website to see you you could help me out.



And why is it so hard to find parts for jimny's? And how much would it cost for a new one and a second hand one?

Sorry for sounding dumb but this is really frustrating me I just want to get it fixed.

thanks

tut tut! using pictures from other websites when you can use one from here!



Not sure why you are having such trouble getting one, I would have thought that CAM_SUZUKI (Thornton Breakers) would have had one.

I found people wanted silly money for one, £75 :ohmy:
Plus a lot of breakers dont have the hub nut tool to remove it.
I ended up buying a complete front axle when i needed a hub - fitted a new wheel bearing and it was still slack and wobbly !
Axles can be found on ebay for £75 sometimes, same price as some breakers quoted me for the hub alone.

Just remove the circlip from the axle stub and the four bolts from the behind the disk on the Knuckle.

Yes I have been quoted £75 for a hub plus postage looked on ebay again for a front axle and I can get one for £100 including postage. Dont worry about getting the bearing out I can do that.

thanks.
