Title: FJ1200 Rear Wheel Bearing/Spacer question
Post by: Prototype4342 on June 21, 2015, 02:16:56 PM
So I am swapping my rear wheel bearings, last set didn't have much time on them I think they got water in them or something, my question is, is the center wheel spacer supposed to be held solid by the bearings? Mine can move around with the bearings seemingly fully seated, just wanted to make sure this is normal

Yes, that wobble gets taken up when you torque the axle nut and the inner race of the bearings get up solid against the center spacer.
