Hi Everyone,
In this video I continue the rear wheel bearing job. This time we have the first half of the refurb of the second axle.
Join me in my adventure using my general engineering skills to figure out classic car mechanics and restoration. I'm not a professional just a keen amateur, so don't take my methods as gospel but they might give you a bit of a guide.

Coming in future videos I will cover more fixes, lots of new parts, and some of my future EV conversion plans.

This is one job where the proper Churchill tool or a made up copy is really a MUST. If you don't you are unlikely to succeed in getting the hub off without distorting the hub flange and ending up with a wobbly wheel. When the new hub is assembled it will fully set how far it seats down the axel shaft. The same applies to the shield if you have removed it. I would not put the trunnion bush kit in until everything else is assembled and the vertical link goes on. Once you grease something it becomes a magnet for dirt and grit. The assembled bush kit on the hub should be VERY close to 2" wide. Many aftermarket kits are the wrong specification and the vertical link would be forced apart getting it on. So when the spring is bolted to the vertical link it pinches the trunnion bushbinding it up, which will possibly cause inappropriate pressure on your new inner roller bearing and will bend the vertical link.

Hi Nick, I've also upgraded the front discs so it's a bit hard to tell. I have had the Spitfire out a bit over summer (my videos are about a month behind) and it seems to be a bit better at stopping. I haven't noticed any fading, though I've only had the Wellington streets and motorways to test it on. All in all the current set up feels very good especially as it is unassisted.
