I have fitted several sets of bearings and seals on these, although the drum shaft has been carefully examined and looks perfect I am having a very high and quick failure rate after fitting. Within a matter of months or less.
Is anyone else experiencing this, just wondering if the bearing seal we are using is up to the job?
Have done 3 or 4 aw23 bearing jobs with no comebacks but did have a 5v2 where the bearings only lasted a week due to the supplied bearing kit seal having too larger ID and letting water straight into the bearings.
Just been back to this one, lasted just over a month. :rolls:
The bearing seal that came with the second kit is different to the one I received last month???
The one on the left is the new seal, as I regularly get sent the wrong bearings and on a couple of occasions the wrong seal it looks as though the stock picking gremlins have struck again. 🙁
