On my 77 911 the rear pass side hub feels loose with the E brake off. If I hold the rotor and lug studs it has play in it. Everything moves including the nut in the middle that the wheel bearing would slide on to. I can see the rotor move and the half shaft. The caliper and the back parts all stay firmly in place. Am i missing some bolt or is it the wheel bearing??
Thanks

FYI I bought this car just after the motor was removed from a perfectly running car. I have now installed another motor and just realized this problem. The car was running well and it does seem unlikely the wheel bearings would be faulty so I am inclined to believe I have not attached something to hold this on tightly.

 

Your CV joint bolts are tight right ?

 

The 6 allen head b olts that hold the half shaft to the hub are tight but i remeber the other side not moving even without the half shafts connected. I am wondering if the wheel bearing is the problem or if there is something else it could be??
Thanks

 

I don't think the IS anything else :-)
