Not sure if you have got your moneys' worth out of those bearings yet Willem.
Are you sure they need replacing?????

Came across a heavily laden datto 2wd between Dubbo and Nyngan with one wheel fallen off.
No rellies in that area ?
LOL

I know what you mean,

Was rotating the tyres the other day, and thought what's that grease splattered over the front wheels - yep, the CV boots have pinholes.

Now these are Mecatech boots, supposedly the best available. The damn things have done 18 months and maybe 22,000ks, whereas the original Isuzu ones only lasted 8 years and 120,000ks.

Oh well, try to ring the Mecatech dude here in Melbourne, he's gone AWOL, so open a correspondence with a guy in the UK to claim on the "lifetime" warranty.

After a bit of a struggle, he agreed to send me some new ones (of the 2 types, I appear to have paid for the dearer ones and been supplied with the cheaper ones which are too small for the Jack, although they went on OK). You must

So now I have turned a tyre rotation into a CV replacement, plus new wheel bearings & seals, plus disc machining - bugger !

That's a greasy job. I think I might try using those nifty rubber gloves to see if I can keep the stuff out of my cracked old skin....

Rotors…. I have learnt my lesson in hard way. The same scenario and I have decided to machine rotors. After that my brakes became awful – truck start to shake worst then on corrugated road. Have to dismantle everything again and put new rotors. With machining about 20 bucks or so and new rotors from DBA (much thicker and heavier then OEM!) about 100 bucks I personally fail to see much reasons to machine them. 80 bucks preside to disassemble whole swivel hub in 6 month while new would service you for another 200K? My times worth more.
Cheers.
