Something not right with this hub....

Looking at your pic again, is that a washer beneath the lock nut? Have you tried flipping it round? If that doesn't help, is it actually supposed to be there? I can't see it shown at all in the manual.

Either I'm very unlucky (most likely) or there is something else....

Anyone happen to have a lude with the front wheels off and can measure from the stub of the front hub - from the base of the splines to the tip of the thread, it would be appreciated with +rep

My BB4 has a front wheel off... I'm crap at understanding written instructions though, can you show me what to measure using a picture?

Is this useful?

I make it roughly 23mm from the face of the hub to the end of the stud for the spindle nut

Thanks boys,

Right, I've measured the internal 'length' of the front wheel bearing and there is no way these are the right hubs. Fortunately I have accumulated lots of spare hub nuts of the years so it's gone back together.

Hoping I can get the right ones and not have pay Honda prices

I have just read this thread and I have the exact same problem,I have fitted new drive shaft and cv joint to my bb4 and the hub nut is fully tight but its still not the way it should sit.. wheres the problem coming from?

I had the same issue, it could be that your new part is for an atr.

I have same problem on drivers side front hub the nut is tight but the lip u bash into the groove on the shaft is sticking out too far, I replaced the drivers side cv joint around 2 years ago and it has never came loose on me yet but still annoying, just haven't got round to checking it out properly, I bought the cv joint from a company called J&R trading, here's the one I bought 2 years ago but it was £18.99 back then

Same one I bought

it's actually for an atr and they are slightly different.

that's the exact same one I bought mate.well if its been like that for 2 years with you maybe its safe enough.Just a little annoying.I am just going to keep my centre cap off my wheel and keep an eye on it.
