Hi All, first post
Having just bought an EC300 needing a few bits 'tinkering' with, this has been a really useful forum!
Ive tried searching but found nothing on this possible issue...
Im replacing the rear wheel bearings, old bearings came out ok and im now fitting the new ones. Have fitted the two on the sprocket side, with the washer in the middle in the correct orientation.
However, both bearings have locked up solid when in situ, is this normal? Doesnt seem right to me. I guess its where the washer contacts the inner race of both bearings or someting, but surely the washer and both inner races should turn together freely?
Thinking back, the old bearings were the same when in place, so maybe this is right and once all torqued up and pulled together they turn.
Have left the disc side bearing out for the time being incase the others need removing.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any advice!
