====Installation==== * Using some coarse sandpaper on a fabric backing (eg. grit 60-80) work on the opening of the upright where the bearing pack sits to remove all of the rust and dirt buildup * Clean out the bolt holes * Clean and de-grease surfaces properly so no grit and dirt is present anymore * Apply some anti-seize (eg. ceramic grease) along the edge of the hole so the new bearing pack will seat properly and can be removed easier later. * Offer up the new bearing pack to the upright * Depending on tolerances it may slide into place immediately or need pulling in by using the bolts (this seems to vary) * If the original bolts are OK, insert these from the back of the upright and tighten them finger-tight * Turn steering wheel to one side again * Using a torque wrench do up the bolts in a circular pattern until they are all tightened to 90Nm * Check that the bearing pack sits flat and true on the upright If an M16 clamp-bolt was fitted through the hub (not required, but recommended): * Re-install clamp bolt and washers, coat washer surfaces with some form of anti-corrosion grease * Attach a size 24 ring spanner to the back so it locks against the lower wishbone * Put a rag between the spanner and the wishbone * Use a torque wrench to tighten the M16 nut to 220Nm * Re-connect speed sensor plug if required * Clean brake disc inner mating surface to hub * Install brake disc on hub * Install M5 allen bolt holding brake disc on hub * Install front caliper (may need to replace P-clip for brake line if undone earlier) * Refit allen-bolts holding caliper to upright * Use a torque wrench to tighten to 45Nm each * Re-fit wheel * Apply brake pedal a few times to re-seat brake pads/pistons Have a cuppa!
