Anyone know the dimensions of this washer (the one that goes between the bearing and locknut), and if it's possible to source this somewhere other than Suzuki? I see that Suzuki still has them in stock - for about $2.00. I have nowhere that I know of to source this here, and as a last resort will order from Suzuki, if I have no other option.
By the way - a lesson learned here....Attempting to 'delegate', I had a mechanic with a good rep over here replace my wheel bearings about a year ago - I gave him all the torques, the FSM, the (aftermarket) Kent Moore tool that I have. Within about 5,000 miles, play has returned in both wheels. I bit the bullet, and tore down each side to see what was going on. On one side, sheared bolts, missing screws and the locknut spinning about so much that I was able to unscrew it by hand. On the other side, aside from the prerequisite stripped screws, there was no washer, and the locknut was wearing against the bearing. It was obvious he never really tried to use the locknut socket, either. I torqued all (with the help of a neighbor, as there is no way I can torque to 210Nm) - the play and growling disappeared, but I have ordered new bearings and will replace them myself. Also, that aftermarket Kent Moore tool, that needs a socket in order to attach to your wrench is truly a PIA. In any event, I need to replace the washer, when I replace the hubs. Any dims or help appreciated!!
