    Front stub axle hub seal ring.

    Hi folks,
    I've tried to search previous posts with no joy, with regard to replacing the ring that sits on the front stub axle, that the hub seal sits on. Is it possible to replace this at home? If so, I've heard that you 'gently' drill the ring then split it with a chisel, to free it. Then, is it possible to drift the new ring on, or is it best to get it workshopped? I'm happy to have a lash myself but need the guidance of you wonderful people.
    Also, when replacing the hub seal, should it sit flush with the flat surface of the hub or push it in as far as she'll go? (against the bearing)

    Any and all help gratefully appreciated, seems this is almost a given, for owning a Landy!

    Our Landy is a 109, 76' ser' 3. with Fairey free wheeling hubs.

    The ring is replaceable up to late Series 3 (after that you have to replace the stub axle!). This means yours would be included, unless it has a stub axle off a later model, which is quite possible.

    The sleeve, also described as a 'distance piece', is shattered with a cold chisel "using extreme care to avoid damage to the stub axle". The new sleeve is a press fit on the stub axle. If you have not got access to a press, you should be able to drive it on with a suitable piece of pipe, perhaps helped by warming the sleeve.

    The seal should sit flush with the inner surface of the hub.

    Hi John,
    Yes it has the replaceable sleeve, job now complete, I drilled the sleeve slightly to start, then 'spoke' to it nicely with a cold chisel. Worked well, no damage to stub axle. Then procured a drift, using a street sign post, almost perfect diameter, with hard rubber sandwiched in between. Long story short, so far so good.
    I've had help off you before, and really do appreciate it, thanks cobb.

    All the best. Ben.
