I was changing the brake pads on the Defender today, and noticed a fair bit
of play on the back wheels. Consulting the manual suggests that there are
two taper bearings on each hub. The only job listed in the workshop manual
is replacement, and I was wondering if they are adjustable at all? (I
haven't tackled the hub nut yet, pending availability of a suitable
socket.)
Also, the splined fit between the driving hub and the half shaft can best
be
described as "rattling" :-)
Is this normal, and , if not, how much play is acceptable?
