Re: 5-stud hubs on a MA61	Sat, 14 September 2002 07:03

arggh - F U C K - ok, bad news # 1: the ms112 / ms123 front hubs DO NOT FIT onto the ma61 hub spindle (easily, if at all). the ms123/112 inboard/outboard spindle bearing race dia's are 35mm and 22mm respectively. the ma61 corresponding dimensions are ~32mm and ~19mm respectively. now that wouldnt be a drama if you could simply press a set of ma61 bearings into the ms123/112 hubs. BUT YOU CANT!! Do'h!! the outside bearing diameter of the stock ma61 bearings is ~ 59.1mm and ~45.3mm respectively, compare to the ms123/112's which are 60mm and 46mm respectively. f uck. the ma61 bearing just rattle around insode the ms123/112 hubs. SO... either, ive got to find a 5 stud hub which already sits on a spindle of 32/19mm dimensions, or i have to find a hub who's internal machined bearing race is 59.1/45.3mm DO'H. OR (and i have NO IDEA about this one)... swap a ms123/112 spindle (just the spindle) out of its susension component (dbl wishbone), and press it into the ma61 strut, replacing the ma61 stock spindle. anyone have a clue? the dia of the spindle where it enters its respective suspension component is the same, so it could be possible. anyone know if you can press spindles in and out?? OR thridly, shim the ms123/112 hub and run ma61 bearings, or shim the ma61 spindle, and run ms123/112 bearings. YEASH!! OR find/make bearings to fit bad news # 2: the trailing arm assembly of the ms123 is NOT interchangeable with the trailing arm of the ma61. same style, but TOTALLY different in dimensions. GOOD news # 1: the rear wheel bearing kits for the ma61 and ms123 have the SAME PART NUMBER... wohoo!! plus they are dimensionally similar externally...which (probably) means that if you press the axle/hub out of the ms123 arm, the axle/spline will be the same as the ma61, which means you can 'probably' just press them into the ma61 trailing arm, with ZERO bearing problems...heres hoping... cheers ed [Updated on: Sat, 14 September 2002 12:24] [Report message to a moderator]
