sierra xr4 hub assembly??
Z20let Corsa - 17/6/09 at 02:25 PM

im busy fitting the hubs etc back together onto the car (disk brakes) but how do the hubs etc bolt to the driveshafts?? because when im tightening them up the hub is locking up so it wont turn?? and the bolts that hold the hub to the carrier are fouling on the back of the wheel studs?? anyone have any pics of their setup or tips to see where ive gone wrong?? thanks.

The driveshafts just have one big nut on the end and that is the only thing holding them in place, (well there's the splines too but in terms of nuts & bolts that's it)

When you say the bolts that hold the hub to the carrier I assume you mean the carrier to the upright?? There are no bolts holding the hub to the carrier. In terms of the wheel studs are hey the original Ford type as they are fairly flush at the back so I can't figure how they would clash??

Any pictures? That may help?

You haven't got the abs ring on the driveshaft have you?
