Rear wheel play
Posted: Tue Jul 09, 2019 8:17 pm
Hi All
Strange things are a foot in my garage! I changed my rear bearings in my 1970 westy 1000 miles ago. Just put on new shoes this week, and after a good torquing on the rear nut, my wheel had a slight play in it. After taking the wheel off again there was no play on stub axle!!! What indeed could be happening? Ihad a single shim between backing plate and drum due to rubbing. Could this be the problem?
Any help much appreciated as my patience is slowly dropping.
Thank you
