  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

2011 TE 310 wheel bearing question

First time I've done the rear wheel bearing myself, and I'm looking for a bit of guidance on the install. Bearings came out easily enough, but I was a bit surprised by a couple of things: two bearings on one side and one on the other, a retention clip on only one side and not the other, and a flange on one end of the spacer that goes between the bearings.

For the install, should the bearing with the retention clip be seated tightly against the seat in the hub, or gently pounded back out against the clip? Can't think why the clip would be there, otherwise. And for the end with two bearings, I'm assuming pound the first one all the way in against the seat in the hub, then the second one goes tight against the first?

Finally, when I removed the bearings, I didn't actually see which way the spacer was facing. The parts manual doesn't show the flange, and I can't think of any good reason for specifically installing it in either direction. Does anybody know what purpose it serves and which way it should be facing? The flange is just press-fit onto the spacer about 1/4" from one end, and is a very thin steel band that sticks out maybe 1/8". It has clearance to the inside of the hubs, including the seats, and really doesn't seem to serve any purpose other than to confuse me.

Thx!
