John McCormack Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 When I acquired my CKD Australian assembled TR3 it came with a spare Lockheed axle with all the parts, bearing and seal in the boot. I've just been inspecting it all to make sure it is all there and in good condition. My question is when assembling the axle which way do the parts 51 and 53 go. The 51 that came with the car has a flat and a domed side.parts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 The dome into the axle flange, flat against the washer, nut against the washer. Pushes the whole lot into the flange compressing the splits in the spline to grip the spllne end of half shaft. Image from the workshop maual Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Image from the workshop maual Thanks Peter, My apologies, it is the washer part 53 that is domed one side and flat the other. The flat side goes against part 51??

The flat side goes against part 51?? That is how the engineering drawing shews it. Flat face to the splines collet/collar. Tapering face toward the nut. There should be a smaller flat on that washer for the nut to seat against Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My intention is to fit the bearing to the axle so that if I need it it can be easily fitted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Max Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 Hi, sorry if I use Your topic to make a question: is possible to remove and replace a new bearing without removing the part 45/48 ? I checked and I think my back wheel need a new bearing, I hope it's an "easy" job for a Sunday afternoon. thanks for help Max Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Max Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 So, need to remove also brakes and the bearing holder(40/41)?I don't understand if the bearing is in the part "2" or in the bearing holder Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brakes can stay in place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Why did the hub get broken like this: Is this a view of the taper collar from the other side of the car against the other drive flange hub and taper collar? The drive flange hub has the taper collar fitted in it and needs removing before you refit the drive flange hub. The splined collar or collet is designed to grip the half shaft spline as the axle nut is tightened. Note that the torque setting for that nut increased when a later type of nut was fitted.
