Wheel bearing replaced

Before re taxing the Mojo this year I though it a good idea to really check the whole car over as its been sat stored for 4 months.

The right rear wheel bearing was excessively worn, to the point the wheel had some play in it, so the time was right to replace it.

The hub came off easily enough, complete with the very worn bearings. Getting the bearing shells out proved to be a right sod, so I took it to a local garage with a hydraulic press and let them do it - much easier!

The threads on the end of the driveshaft were slightly worn, so I grinded them flat to get the new hub nut on. (The driveshaft is designed that the first section has no threads on it - as per the photos)

I also replaced the oil and oil filter, overdue after 2 years and 6000 miles!

I'm all set now for another summer of fun - and should be able to put the Mojo back on the road this week.

Let the good times roll!

General Update

Hi there,

I have been rather remiss over 2009, giving hardly any updates at all.

I'm going to try harder this year to keep the blog more up to date. I plan to retax the Mojo in March, so only 4 weeks till its (hopefully) back on the road again - can't wait!

Trev.
