Which Loctite Bearing Fit

Post by Titus A Duxass »

Hi All,
I'm going to get the rear wheel bearings replaced.
At present they have play when rocked vertically but not horizontally.
They've been like this for a couple of years but at my last MOT the man said "High level of Play".

As I have to remove the rear hub to fit longer studs this may be the best time to replace the bearings.

My question is - Which Loctite Bearing Fit fluid - 641, 648 or 660 do I need to use?

If the bearings are still a press fit then no need for any retainer, if the housing is worn then use 660.

Cheers Bigherb.
According to the Wiki there is a chance that the carrier is worn and has a bit of play.

660 it is then.
