Thread: Early 110 county - wheel hub bearing spacing

I'm trying to sort out parts for a rear disc conversion, and wanting to find out if front hubs will fit on the rear without actually pulling mine apart to check.
Alternatively, if anyone has a early rear stub axle or hub that they could measure so I can compare with the front hub I have here. Steve

Hi Steve

I don't have the right mix of parts to physically check for you, but the parts manual I do have and it may have the answer.
General M-anual c-ollector Arthur, I will be back .
.

My parts manual ( STC9021CC ) does show the earlier front hub assembly to (VIN) KA930455.

Illustration....... Part Number.......... quantity...............Description.........
.....1/E 23..............FRC4320..................2........ Axle-stub-hub-front suspension...(has narrow keyway for locking tab )................................
......9/E 23.............STC4382................2/side....Bearing-front/rear axle hub...(so is same for front and back axles, Good! )...............................
.....10/E 23............FRC6139..................2.........H ub-assembly-front.....
.....16/E 23............FRC5806..................2.........F lange-driving shaft joint...( same for rear axle )................................................. .......................
.
......3/H 30............FTC1368.................10.......Bol t-disk to hub (non-ventilated disc brake-front ).( watch this one as there is a mistake in my manual )

While this doesn't answer your question directly, it does give some encouragement.

Thanks Arthur, but it doesn't get me any further ahead. Looks like I'll have to pull a rear hub and measure it myself.

I've just spent all day doing rear wheel bearings on my daughter's Triton ute. What a mongrel job.
Almost makes me want to take the hub off the county right now just so I can wallow in how easy it is to do compared to the Triton ones

FWIW I've been putting off doing a certain coil rear Patrol ute wheel bearings for two years or so now (it has a weepy hub seal) as it's such a PITA job.

The leafer rear Patrol ute is dead simple as it's a full floater housing like the Landy or 'cruiser, but the coiler ute is not near as easy.

Glad its not just me sooking. First non floater I've ever done - got the old bearings off and the new ones fitted, but stuck now until I can get them to a mate with a bigger press as I just cant get the retaining collars home. They wont fit in my cheapie press as the backing plate diameter is too big

Steve I converted mine and from memory the bearing spacing on the stubs is the same. The hubs are different front and rear though.

Thanks Lambrover - that's what I was hoping to hear.
I know the hubs are different between the drum rear and disc front, but if the bearing spacing is the same it will mean that I can fit the spare county front hubs I have to the rear - so I don't have to get new hubs or stubs

Steve,


I'm working in the conversion right now, I still have the new parts over the table, so I can give you p.n., photos and measurements. It took me a long time to source all the bits because of the fear of buying wrong parts.

Let me know if you need some of the listed above.
