Big shaft help !!

I have lmf hubs that press into a nova standard bearing but the drive end is hitting the inside of the nova hub not the bit that presses into the bearing do I have to machine it to accept the bigger ends ?

[total_vauxhall]

Is it pressed all the way in

[greene94]

It's definitely in full way the circlip is it its proper place just need some advice

If the hub is hitting the knuckle then it's not machined properly.

However the heavily machined hubs to fit standard nova bearings are a known bad idea so I would probably recommend against this approach

[total_vauxhall]

By the sounds of it iain his cv joint ( bearing housing) is touching the inside of the knuckle when the machined hub should stop it from going in far enough to do this . The discription of what is happening is not very clear . However something isnt machined right if your having this problem. And as iain has said them machined hubs to fit the tiny bearings are terrible . Be prepared for the flange to neck off as soon as it even see's a bit of torque..

Be much better with full size cav hubs and audi bearings

Oh if it binds when fitting the CV try removing the abs ring or fitting a thin spacer between them. Some kits used to come with a thin spacer to fit there I thought
