Reynard FF 85 uprights
I have an Imp-powered single seater that utilises, what I've been told,
are Reynard FF 85 uprights allround. They are the alloy version, as I believe they were also made in magnesium for F3. I wish to change the bearing on one, and have it set up on a press OK. I am finding that the outer race is exremely tight in the hub, and I was wondering if there is some special method of getting it out ? Does the entire upright need to be heated, or what ? Also, does someone know if the circlips holding in the bearing is a special size ? I've measured the slot as inside dia. 94mm, and the free diameter of the original circlip as 95.5mm. A new circlip I obtained catalogued as "95mm" is actually 99mm free dia., and no way will this fit the hub.... Any suggestions ? |
