Continuing my saga of the back axle....
I set about re- adjusting the brakes ( a straightforward luxury with hydraulics!)and noticed that he offside outer hub (with its new half shaft key and properly tightened nut!) flange was not hard up against the inner flange when the clamping force of the wheel nuts was relaxed! In fact a gap of about 1/16" could be seen! The inner flange could be moved in & out! Once wheel nuts/countersunk screws etc are tightened of course this inner flange is tight against the outer....the assembly had not moved at all after a brisk 15 mile run. Nor does the wheel appear to be loose.
The other side is snug one half up to the other. No untoward noises, no rattles.....
Any comments.....I don't like it Captain Mainwaring. .....
