Front Hubs

[mantaray]

Well after a track day at Brands last sunday my n/s/f hub has destroyed it self , so i have upgraded both of em with Caterhams kit which seems to be new hubs bearings and shafts , but no instructions , i presume this upgrade is just the newer style 2003 bearings and hub .
Well they are all now fitted , but i dont know the torque setting of the main hub nut , i know FT will do but be nice to do it correct . Many thanks

Hi , i to hope i pressed em in properly , they didnt seem to be able to go in wrong ? but i could of done , as for the setting on the 33mm nut anybody know ?

Thanks for the help people , well my nice new shiny hubs are now fitted , so much better than the old taper bearing style , and seem so much stronger .
It does seem odd to have a huge 33mm nut and have it really not much more than finger tight , but what do i know i build off road jeeps 33mm nuts are small

No they are what i would call timkin bearings , the inner or outer are not tapered , just pressed into the hubs .

I bought a hur2003k kit hub upgrade pack superlight R400 race , direct from Caterham , the only problem was i had the hubs machined down 3 mm to clear the bigger wilwood discs on the track rod ends .
