Which of you hombres was it that works for LDV?
Want to know if you can get the tin hat that goes on the propshaft before you fit the centre prop support bearing as a separate part?
I can easily get the bearing (6009-2RS), and for about a quarter of the price of buying the whole thing complete with housing.
The process of removing the bearing form the shaft seems to knacker the tin hat comprehensively, or at least, I've never found a way of doing it without. The other end is easy, of course...
Mind, since the bearing is sealed, in theory, it shouldn't need tin hats... since the tin hat doesn't constitute anything meaningful in the way of a seal, the sort of small grit that can damage the seals and knacker the bearing will probably get in anyway. I spose the tin hat prevents bigger bits hitting it.
