id say so mate yeah, try to keep the speed down though.
i'll let you off this time then about the bearing, but you MUST start to amass your own tools collection, what you pay in labour wil buy you most of the tools, and then you can do it yourself next time, effectively for free
i'll tell you a little story that might make you feel better.
one day, about 9 months ago, in the early stages of my offroading career, i was driving to a pnp. i had just got onto the motorway and was doing about 50 mph, and then all of a sudden the drivers front wheel locked up solid. as in "bang, screeeeeeeeech" as it slid along the motorway.
obviously the car veered to the right, luckily there was no cars in the way. it unlockled after about 5 seconds, and i yanked it over to the hard shoulder.
luxkily it was wet and i was on muds, i bet in the dry on roadies it would have dragged me a lot futher, or dug in and nearly rolled over?
anyway, i jacked it up and the wheel was stiff, couldnt turn it.
i thought it was the brake so took the wheel off, and checked it out. i poured water on the caliper, but it didnt make much difference.
as i rocked the wheel back and to it started to lighten up, so i decided to remount the wheel and drive to the nearest junction, on the hard shoulder.
when i got to a car park, it felt completely free again, so not wishing to miss my offroad day i though 'sod it' and carried on up to rochdale.
it squeaked a bit on the motorway but it cured by the time i was there.
i did a full day offroad and drove it home.
when i had a look at the hub in the next few days, the inner bearing has exploded, and the inner race had spun so much it had welded itself to the stub axle!
anyway the point is that with a little bit of play in your bearing (and 5mm at the tyre edge is NOTHING at the bearing) im sure you'll be just fine to drive around for a week if i could do all that on a 100% knackered bearing!
