Hi again everyone being my first Goldie and the amount of time ago I removed the wheels for refurb I feel I am doing something stupid because every time I tighten the stub axle side the rear wheel locks up and I cannot for the life of me figure out why, it seems correct according to the parts diagram I have everything where it should be but obviously there is something badly wrong somewhere any suggestions or even better anyone near enough to have a look and laugh at me I am situated at Allhallows north Kent nearest town Rochester I would be more than happy to pay for someone's time if they can solve this problem as then it is virtually on point for a test run many thanks Chris
Check that the wheel bearings are all seated correctly and in the correct position.
I did not fit the wheel bearing Hagon's did I took both the complete wheels and drums over to them they did say the new drum was tight accepting the bearing but assured me all was OK !!! apparently not any suggestions on my next move like how I am a proper Goldie virgin many thanks for your time Chris
Hi,
Have you check that the brake plate is not binding when the spindle is tight?

That is interesting as on my recent project the new bearings were a tight fit in the original hub too.
I've come across this before with the brake shoes binding - turned out to be a twisted brake plate.
Have you tried putting the wheel in without the brake plate assembly?
Does it spin then (I appreciate that the thickness of the plate has to be allowed for)?
But I agree with the above, check the bearings are fully seated and that the spacers are in the correct sequence.
The wheel spins fine until I tighten the stub axle on the drum side which obviously must happen it cannot be loose

That will be my first port of call tomorrow
Hi,
Do you have the hub collar in place? This goes against the bearing in the hub and the brake plate sits against it. It is part number 67-6032.
Dave.
I will check this as well tomorrow thanks

I believe you are correct I have just gone to the garage to check and it is laying on the lift table and I still do not remember removing it I have also found it on the parts diagram!!! so I think the problem is solved if not I will be back Thank you everyone for your time and patience with me
