I think the cotter pin must have failed to allow this. I think the shop may have tightened the bearing too much, but there is no way to prove this.

Was it still intact after the separation ? Did you manage to recover any bits of the cotter pin ? If the failure was caused by the bearing being t; /html/triumphs/2006-04/msg00285.html (7,747 bytes)

I was going to replace my front rotors myself this weekend, but now I've been scared into having the local shop do it! B. P.S. I've heard stories about sudden loss of one of the rear wheels.

The nut and bearing (presumbably the washer, too) and the end of the spindle were welded together. I tried to separate them later; /html/triumphs/2006-04/msg00288.html (7,903 bytes)
