easy way to change rear wheel bearings and cv u joint
#21
Hi gents, was using this writeup as my guide and need some help.. kinda stuck!
The nut (the 27mm nut in the step 8) was apparently sitting on a "thread insert" (looks like a little spring). When I removed nut the "spring" was on the shaft. I was able to unscrew it.
Now how do I put it back? The nut is obviously bigger size then shaft so this insert is required. If I put insert on - I can't get nut over it (maybe one loop goes in and the rest gets squished as I try to tighten. I've spent an hour now trying to screw it inside the nut first - so far no luck....
Any trick to it?
