I've got the caliper off to rebuild and thought i'd regrease the bearings while i'm in there.

I stripped the gubbins and found the hub washer looking like this. there is also scoring inside the hub cap.

Is this caused by over tightening?

Which side of the nut or bearing was contacting that surface?
What is under the washer ?
Over tightening usually results in a burned up bearing.

And what are gubbins ?

Looks like bearing was not seated properly. Picture seems to show worn off at an angle? Is that correct?

gubbins is generic for bits n bobs.

the worn side was against the smaller outer bearing.

There is no damage to the bearing or the housing.

The hole in the center looks to be fubared. Should be nice & round except the nub. Maybe the wrong washer was used and “made to work”?

Hi dude. I had looked up those washers, thinking I needed some. Not cheap. So I'd guess someone in the past had, like you said, over tightened it in the past. Not wanting or unable to get a new one they put that back in. I had to look where you were after "freaking memory is pants." , and the word gubbins. Great word

Love the Brits wording for things ,worked on ships with them and funny as. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) .
Anyway back to the program, that washer looks to be totaled so the bearing and the strut would be similar ,thinking I agree unseated bearing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) .

That almost looks like a strut top washer rather than a bearing washer?
