rear wheel not turning free

pratt&whitney · Jun 24, 2018

Good afternoon

I send my wheels for a tire change last friday.

I reinstall the front one without problem, but the rear is tight when i reach the torque recommended.

My ABS housing is correctly place.

Is it possible they overtight the wheel when they balanced it, and break the bearings?.

Thanks.

More likely that it is not assembled correctly. You should be able to tell if the bearings are free to move before installing the wheel.

There is a washer that has to be in the correct place on the right side. A number of people have put it in the wrong place.

Part 21 in the attached parts fiche.

Part #9 has a slot that lines up with brake caliper mount is that correct??

pratt&whitney · Jun 24, 2018

Absolutely. its align.

Its turning but its rough!

pratt&whitney · Jun 24, 2018

I m really confuse about that, i dismantle the wheels so many time.

Its quite easy to misplace the spacer, part #10 in the schematic

above, while the wheel is removed.

Any chance it didnt get reinstalled?

pratt&whitney · Jun 24, 2018

Yep, its reinstalled and we cant mismatch the washers.

Are both your brake pads on one side of the disc? Don't ask me how I know t this can happen!

pratt&whitney · Jun 24, 2018

Yeah, i check the brake, everything its fine.

The wheel turn fine except when i start to torque it.

Start to jam at 30-40 pounds.

How did that happen?

pratt&whitney · Jun 24, 2018

No clue, but the needle bearing was seized and must be change and it was dry (no lub).

I clean , lub and put it back together.

The roller bearing was good.

Tuesday i will order all the bearings,s,eals wheel collar ect
