Land Rover Defender: Ball and Roller Bearings
When removing and installing bearings, make sure that the following practices
are observed to make sure component
serviceability:
CAUTION:
Service tools have been developed for removing the majority of bearings; these
must always be used where
specified.
- Remove all traces from bearing under inspection by cleaning with a
suitable degreasant; maintain absolute
cleanliness throughout operations.
- Conduct a visual inspection for markings on rolling elements, raceways,
outer surfaces of outer or inner surfaces
of inner rings. Reject any bearings found to be marked since marking in
these areas indicates onset of wear.
- Hold inner race of bearing between finger and thumb of one hand and
rotate outer race to check that it revolves
absolutely smoothly. Repeat holding outer race and rotating inner race. DO
NOT spin the bearing.
- Rotate outer ring gently using a reciprocating movement whilst holding
inner ring; feel for any check or obstruction
to rotation. Reject bearing if movement is not absolutely smooth.
- Check bearing for blueing or signs of overheating.
- Lubricate bearing with the specified lubricant.
- Inspect bearing surface of shaft and bearing housing for discoloration
or other markings which indicate overheating
of bearing or movement between bearing and seating.
- Before installing bearing, make sure that shaft and bearing housing are
clean and free from burrs.
- If one bearing of a pair shows signs of wear, overheating etc., it is
advisable to replace bearings as a pair unless it
is suspected that one bearing may have been faulty when installed, was
installed incorrectly or the fault arose due
to oil seal failure.
- Never reinstall a bearing unless it is in a fully serviceable condition.
- When installing a bearing to a shaft, only apply force to the inner ring
of the bearing. When installing a bearing into
a housing, only apply force to the outer ring of the bearing.
CAUTION:
Service tools have been developed for installing the majority of bearings; these
must always be used where
specified.
- In the case of grease lubricated bearings, fill the space between the
bearing and outer seal with the recommended
grade of grease before installing the seal.
CAUTION:
When a waxed oil seal (installed dry) type of oil seal is to be installed, take
great care that grease does not
contaminate the running surface of the seal.
- Always make suitable reference marks between the components of separable
bearings e.g. taper roller bearings
when disassembling to make sure correct location of components when
assembling. Never install new rollers in an
outer ring, always install a new bearing assembly.
BRAKE PADS AND LININGS
Always install the correct grade and specification of brake pads and linings.
When replacing these items, always
replace as complete axle sets.
