@padge46 This is they one job where you need to borrow a press. I suggest you take the assembly to a local workshop and ask for their help to press-out the shaft (originally loctited-in) and then remove that inner ace with a bearing separator on the same press. Take care of the flimsy water thrower just behind that inner race. I could not get that shaft out with a puller on my etype...but earlier on an XJS I had one come apart with n force needed....
You don't want it to seat all the way to start with if you're checking the end float - you need to leave some wiggle room, then use the shaft and nut to tighten the bearing into position.
You should check the end float dry, no grease. No need to use a drive shaft yoke to tighten on, there is a tool for knocking the inner bearing in which has a shoulder stop on it of 0.150" you then fit a dti gauge on the tool then lift up the hub and take the dti gauge reading, then add the clearence you need to the reading, 0.003" to 0.005" endfloat. Then grease it. R.T.F.M Cheers from uk. What torque setting are you using, 100psi.
At 3:05 Did you say "collar"? I can't find this part anywhere. Mine burned up along with the inner bearing and now I have to grind the melted metal off the hub! Can you please tell me where I can find that last metal piece you put on because it does not come with the bearing kits and there are no 80's XJS's in the junkyard near me. Nice Video it has helped me alot and now Im stuck : (
I am now rebuilding my IRS and as I am now doing the hub bearings I hoped to see a video showing the outer oil seal as I cant find which direction is the inside or outside? any pictures or videos would be appreciated.
Question: I am into this now. How the heck did you get the old races out of the outer fulcrum hub? I can't find anything I can stick down there to hammer the grooves and move the race. The attachments on my slide hammer are too big to fit in and/or grab the race inside the tiny little 1/4 inch grooves

excellent production!!
Why not heat the outer bearing in oil so it just drops on?

I think you are talking about Jaguar Part No C15232
You should be able to get one from Barrats or XKSunltd

This video is very helpful.

The protruding lip goes inside...thats the pressure side

arthur1920 hi, did you get these bearing tracks out? How?
