MG MGA - Hot brakes / wheel bearings
Am leaving shortly to take my daughter away to college. Before I left I thought I'd pose a question to you folks. My right front brakes/wheel got very hot recently due to a brake problem. Do you think that I should repack the wheel bearings now? Any way to check without taking them apart? Cheers, Jerry |

Wouldn't have thought that the heat would have got that far Jerry. Certainly the hub and bearings would have run a bit warmer than normal but it's hard to imagine the temp rise would be sufficient to affect the HMP grease. Take the cap off and have a look if you wish and if the contents seems unaffected then all should be well. |
