Bonjour and can you help ??

Post by froggy » Fri Aug 01, 2008 2:21 pm

Bonjour all Zookies !!
I bought Carlos (my SJ Santana) few years ago and had a great time.
But I need to prepare the MOT and went though all bits that can cause a failure.
I discovered that the left front wheel bearings had to be changed. Bouth some spares and when opened the caps discovered that the existing bearings had gone !!
The nut (Bolt) was not tight on anything because the thread on the other metal part had gone as well.
Has someone faced the same problem and can I either repair it or find a complete spare parts ?
Some pics may help to see what I'm trying to talk about !!!
Cheers
Froggy

Eh your a star Urbanzook !! This is the bit and of course the nut and washers that go on it. I think that the previous nut went loose and the bearing destroyed the thread.
Would you be happy to sell it to me or let me know how it's called so I can buy one ?
Of course the wine is on me !! Not french one though it pretty extortionate for the quality !!! :lol:
If you're happy to sell it I can send you a cheque or other.
Merci,
Froggy
Wil post Carlos pic tomorrow !!
