quote: For some people they will, others not! But will make a massive improvement. Once you've taken the rear caps off, trim the pin back, it will be bent over the end of the stub shaft, this is the bit that will cause you problems, trim this off and just let the other half of the pin bend in towards the car. You need to make sure the pin cant twist around though. If it can twist, the bit that was bent in......when reversed will bend outwards and still catch your centre caps.....which will give you some metal filings in your bearings, made this mistake myself. Remove them all, use marker pen, about 5mm worth around the hole on the reverse of the centre caps. Put them all back on, drive the car for 5mins, come home.....take them off and see if any of the pen has been taken off. If it has, the stub shafts or the centre cap will need a bit grinding off. Just keep doing this until after driving no pen has been removed at all. If you do grind a bit off the shafts, try and get them level, might be easier just just take some out the centre cap to be honest. [Edited on 30-12-2006 by X 60RSA] | |

Take them off mate, dont advise bashing them in at all. They just stop dirt getting in the bearing, but the speedline centre cap does a good job in keeping it clean in there anyway. | |

If you've got grease caps on, take them off, or have you done already? | |

Grind some material off the stub shafts, that might be your problem. | |

on my mates car it was the pin on the end of the driveshaft that was stopping his from going on so he just bent the pin i think and then it went straight on | |
