V70 1999 after market wheel bearing bolt gotcha
Hi all,
Changing the front wheel bearings on a V70 AWD 1999 . I bought an after market bearing which came with a set of bolts. The original bolts that I took out were E14, and the new bolts were E18. No problem, until I tightened the stub axle 13mm bolt which pulls the axle through the bearing. The hub locked up. I couldn't work out what was wrong until I took the steering knuckle off again and could see that the edges of larger E18 bolts were just scraping the reluctor ABS ring. It had damaged the edge of a few teeth. I cleaned the reluctor ring up and put it back together with the original E14 bolts. So, be careful to check that any new bolts that you use will clear the reluctor ring. You will probably be OK so long at the edge of the bolts doesn't protrude at all into the circular recess where the bearing sits. ABS works OK but if it had badly messed up the reluctor ring, that would have been another job I could do without. Pity to have to use old bolts, but I wanted to get the car back together. In the picture you can see new bolts, old bolt and grease sitting inside the gasket that I was using that sits between the knuckle and the CV joint. HTH Steve
