    I thought the reason you took them off was a fitting problem.

    Yes mate it was

    Got the job done today in so far as Ive had the old one stripped and some BUTCHER had fitted the wrong bearing as the stepped inner lip was too deep (near the centre) preventing the hub form being mounted on there by about say ermmmm....2 mm

    Also....the same SOB had scarred the rear hub face in his butcherous attempts to remove the hub (god knows why...... it was easy with the right kit) but this is only cosmetic and not functional luckily.....

    The guy whos garage I went to reckoned the missing bits in the lip are meant to be there to assist removal?? and that they are not chipped.......

    God knows but the bearing was wrong. Though it spun like new :mischeif:

    New bearing fitted to teh housing and is seated fully. Hub pressed on correctly. Gap has shrunk to the same as the other side visually

    Will update if that has done the trick
