Bjorn, You have a spun bearing, not a good thing. It also sounds like the bearing seat in the hub wore down as well as the bore since the nut was loose. The hub is probably scrap. You might take it to a machine shop for evaluation, but I think you should start looking for a used hub assembly. Be sure to replace the seals on both sides and just clean and re-pack the bearings that are still good with a high quality wheel bearing grease. -- Stuart MacMillan Manager, Case Program 800-909-8244, Ext. 208 Getting your share of the Net yet? http://casedealer.com/demo http://caseihdealer.com/demo http://cobaltgroup.com |
