Hi AndyKent,
May I ask you how much you paid for the hub Please? I think I should have to have one back up.

Water is a good thermal conductor as well so why would it not say to use that?

No it isn't but no one said to use paraffin.
Paraffin wax was the suggestion.

Not a bad idea to have a backup - the front hubs (at least for the 2004 models) fit either side - but I have no idea if the same hubs also fit the rear (I doubt it).... Andy |

The idea is to have something that _conducts_ heat well and can be localised to the axle. Ice could be solid (as wax) but I doubt ice would conduct heat away from the axle very well as much as blind you with steam and/or explode.... of course, I'm only _presuming_ that paraffin wax wouldn't do that.

Holy cow!
Get to http://m.autodoc.co.uk where you'll pick up a big name, high quality bearing/hub assembly for less than £100.

However, as a total amateur, the only big (i.e., trustworthy) name I know is 'Volvo'. And, will those online guys supply the correct stretch bolts and an axle bolt (that I didn't even know I might need) without my asking for them (and offer to take them back for refund if it turns out I don't need them)? And will I need to double check the part numbers and even then potentially end up with the wrong part sitting in my lap whilst I wreck the old hub to get it off...? Given my lack of experience/knowledge, it feels well worth the premium. Plus, there have been quite a few reports of 'non-volvo' bearings failing in short order.... Andy |
