I agree with Mr T, but can't quite understand just how you could push the splined drive end through the planet wheel? Morrag

[geordi]

We don't understand it ether.
I hopped someone here would have the answer

if anyone is in the Essex area and fancies poping in for some help we can provide as much tea and coffee as you can drink

 

[geordi]

Ok enough its enough, had a play last night and still the same issue,

The axel is welded into the frame so I cant take it apart without cutting into the frame,

As we have drained the oil when we removed the half shafts would this be the issue?
(personaly I dont think it is)

Untill we can get this sorted the whole project is at a stand still,
Is there a reliant garrage or specialist in the south that anyone knows of that we can contact or take the frame to

thanks in advance

[terry t]

Hi geordi. were about in the south are you.there a small garage in portsmouth that specialize in reliants

[geordi]

I'm in Crawley but the trike is in Southend essex

but I'll take it as far as it needs to to get fixed. With it like it is it's no good for nothing

How much did they set you back mate (if you dont mind me asking). as im after the same things.

[geordi]

I think it was £50 off eBay

bargin price.

[VmaxTriker]

Deffo was a bargain mate.. il keep my eyes wide open

[geordi]

Going to pend tomorrow working on the trike again tomorrow,

If I cant get the rear axel sorted tomorrow i'm about ready to give up,

I'm thinking if I move the bearing 1cm towards the end of the hub it should work, (I hope)
Dose the bearing need to rest on the coller?

how do you move the bearing along the half shaft?

thanks in advance

[terry t]

hi geordi. the wheel bearings will only go as far as the collar on the half shaft.hope this helps

Project Resurrection (question page 5)

[geordi]

Do the bearing need to sit aginst the collar?

how do you move the collar

[terry t]

the bearing should be pushed up to the lip on half shaft. you can see the lip on the bottom picture to the right of the bearing it will not push on any more.the collar sit along side the bearing witch then fits into the axle. photos of your half shafts with bearings on might help.are your half shaft the same length

[geordi]

The trike is at a friends so I cant get any pix, Pain I know
Yer the halfshafts are the same length, if I can move the colour it could solve all my problems



Taking of pix I opened up the rocker cover on one of my engines, and there were some bits loose and broken in there

Can anyone let me know what this is (apart from broken)

Probably valve stem seals

[Manky Monkey]

Yup, hard to tell the size from your pics, but looks like a valve stem seal. They go in as fairly soft rubber, but after exposure to heat & oil, come out as hard plasticky stuff. They don't normally do any damage when they break up, but obviously your engine will start smoking once they've gone cos oil from the rockers can make it's way down through the valves into the combustion chamber. Quite cheap to replace & a simple enough job to do.
