[QUOTE="Robert Watson, post: 150015, member: 38"] The outer race is fixed in the hub and is fitted with the taper narrow end in and wide end out. The cone is fitted to match and the inner race of the cone goes against the shoulder on the hollow axle. The whole plot is assembled (both sides) and then the correct end float obtained by shimming between the inner race and the shoulder on the hollow axle. The drums are fixed firmly to the flanges on the hub. The distance between them does not change. The only change occurs with the addition or removal of shims behind the bearings which will move the distance the backing plates are from the drums. When all is done correctly there is a very few thou end float, and I will concede that this does allow some movement. The drums do not move relative to the outer races. The drums, hubs, spoke flanges, can move as a unit relative the the backing plates, inner races and hollow axle by the amount of end float. If this .005 (recommended by Richardson which I use as an upper limit) is the movement to which you refer, then you are correct for the inner race and I am correct for the outer race! I see now you have corrected your previous post to "inner race" [/QUOTE]
