Long time no speak all. I've had a rear wheel bearing fail and I'm dismantling both sides as we speak. [might as well do both sides and my cracked di Dion boot as well - amazed its not leaking but it must be close] If I read correctly I need to replace the distance pieces between the bearings...

Here I go getting into trouble. Shouldn't the English football team be replaced by the English cricket team? -- Just a thought. [now where are those ashes?] :roll:
