Ducato 2.8 JTD 2001. Motorhome.
MOT advisory, slight play on all wheel bearings.
Is it possible to adjust the bearings on this model? I removed the wheel trim from one of the front wheels, and removed the bearing cover, expecting to see a castellated nut with a split pin through it. What there is, is what looks like a cover over the nut, with a short sleeve with two indentations at 180 degrees, which fit into grooves in the protruding stub shaft. Does this cover just pull off, or does it have to be unscrewed with the nut? It is many years since I have attempted anything like this, so rather than just poke around hoping to achieve a result, I thought it best to ask for advice.
