You haven't given us any information about what vehicle, year, model etc. Also whether front or rear bearings. Are you replacing or just cleaning & repacking?
We can give you information more easily if you provide a few facts. In the meantime, you could check www.paddockspares.com as a starting point. They do sell kits, but I would suggest contacting them to see who makes their bearings. In the Britpart kits,the bearings are probably Chinese - at any rate they seem to be too cheap, so I would be enquiring as to whether they can supply Timken bearings, which are LR OEM. Cheers, Lionel |

My bad!
It's a 2004 90, NSR wheel bearing to be replaced. I'd like to go genuine, and have to that end emailed Dan at Duckworth this morning to price me up. I really just wanted to know if there was a kit that contained everything or if I had to order separate items? Even knowing the correct names of the paper gasket and the oil seal would be a help so I know to get the right stuff. Thanks for your reply Lionel, it's appreciated  |

A Td5 will have the later single stake nut and selective spacer setup, not the adjustable two nuts setup. Unless it's been reverted to the earlier type (quite possible - many do as it's easier to set up in a home scenario). The information is in the parts catalogue, available online. Then just give the dealer a list of parts numbers.
No need to necessarily go genuine on wheel bearings, Timken ones are available from reputable resellers (Bearmach etc.), same goes for hub seals (Corteco/Gaco) and these are all safe OEM parts. I would go genuine for the gaskets though as most aftermarket ones tend to be very thin in my experience, same for the lock washer/staked nut as appropriate. |

It doesn't take much to be fair. I stuck with the stake nut style because I'm lazy!
Also, I can't think of any reason why you couldn't just use a stake nut without a spacer? |

Don't do that.
The stake nut relies upon significant torque to keep it done up, the staking is not per se adequate. The two nut set-up relies upon the two nuts being tightened onto each other to provide the friction, with the staked washer as belt and braces. |

Ahh fair enough. I wasn't going to do it, just mulling the thought over!

There are varying opinions on whether to use stake type nut with spacer, or to revert to the double adjuster nut with lock tab when replacing a bearing with a new one.
Theoretically, bearing tolerances are tight enough to still be able to use the original size spacer, particularly if you are using the same make of bearing. Changing a worn out hub for a new one though, is a different matter! I have seen a few postings which have described preload problems trying to use the original spacer with the stake nut system when bearings have been changed, so I would go carefully when refitting. If it was me, I would get a conversion kit as well - just in case - as they are pretty cheap. The adjustable system is preferable for the home mechanic IMHO, & makes it much easier to keep the bearings in good adjustment over the longer term. Cheers, Lionel |

Anyone have a rough idea of size of Circlip Pliers?

Reasonably big? It's to get the circlip of the end of the half shaft, and it's a sturdy
 !
Also possible to see just by whipping a wheel off/centre cap. |
