Hello, I have following problem on 4wd Cossie. Trouble started when I had to change front wheel bearing after breaking it on disassembly. I got new wheel bearing (SKF IIRC) assembled and the hub/hub nut started to heat up while driving. It didn't make any noises, but after highway driving it heats up so that the hub nut is too hot to touch. When disassembling this, I noticed that the bearing inner face and the hub stub axle have been brushing against each other, both of them had scoring marks of friction/heat. Now I got new wheel bearing (Timken) changed to the upright, and also I changed new, used hub (the flanged shaft thing) and the bearing still keeps heating up. I even tightened the hub nut to 200 Nm as per repair manual. Any ideas, is the only option that the upright bearing housing is screwed?
