Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: Xtreme Wheel Bearing Revisited

['Mark Alford' via Quantum Owners Group]

I can confirm that I used Paul at Quantum to set up my front wheel bearings on 
my build; should not use Ford torch settings, too tight!! but after 2,000 miles 
they need tightening up already!
cheers Mark

Thanks Ian, that's a great help. It was the slightly different model
numbers I was coming up with for the same car that worried me, I can now
cross check my findings with what you used. Much appreciated.

 Hi Chris. I'll see if incan dig out the part number for you.

 The kits are not handed, you get inner and outer bearings, and a left
 and right handed nut along with the inner and outer seals.

 There are two bearings that fit in the hub. One goes in from the road
 side and one from the brake side. The hub has a 'land' in the middle that
 the bearing outer races sit on.

 Not an easy job though and the next one that I do will have the hub off
 the car and a press used on it.

 Good luck!

Hi Chris. I think they are SKF VKBA 740 Front Passenger and VKBA 741 Front
Driver.

http://www.mister-auto.co.uk/en/wheel-bearing/ford-sierra-gbg-gb4-2-0-105hp_v750_g654.html?display=liste_eq=true=050

There are many models/years but they all seem to come back to these for
non-abs hubs.

 HI Ian,

 I need to replace a front wheel bearing on my xtreme.

 I've not taken it to bits yet, but any chance you could share the part
 number for the skf bearing kits you bought?   are they left and right
 handed?

 Also you mention inner and outer bearings,  could you elaborate? I
 thought there was just one in there, or does the kit cover them both.

 thanks :)

 Evening all.

 Xtreme's have bespoke uprights and I have heard other owners commenting
 on the bearings going tight when torqued up the the 'FT' setting of 310 to
 350NM, and this is what happended to the nearside one the last time I had
 my bearings replaced at the garage up the road. They advised it loosen up
 quickly and it did, but it has only lasted a couple of years.

 So having a close look at it, the land in the upright has suffered
 quite a bit of abuse from a thug with a blunt object...

 I fettled the upright with a file, oilstone and scraper before
 refitting the nice shiny SKF bearing set and the proof of the pudding today
 was that when torqued up to 'FT' spec, the wheel still spins easily.

 So... If you have an Xtreme and it throws wheel bearings, check the
 uprights for damage and correct before fitting the new bearings.

 I have put some photos up on the proboards forum.

 Cheers
 Ian

That would be great (part no) and thanks for the other info.

Yep hub is coming off and the local garage are going to swap the bearings
for me. Thinking about swapping the rover ball joints too whilst the hub is
off.
