Right then, my new in 2022 blueprint front left wheel bearing has play in it after a full new assembly was fitted
So, as I have a recent hub and carrier unit. I'm no going to go down the full replacement route again for just two years and I'm asking for any knowledge or experience of the rebuilding so I can do it myself with timken bearings.
It was just over two years and just out of guarantee .... Post soaking I'll add

The Cv joint nut is still in its final position and was spiked as well and the Cv joint inside the hub can be seen moving as well

Need my 20 tonne log splitter modified to push the new bearing in. Old bearing can be cut out.

My Birmingham place have sold up and become The Heritage Parts Centre and they no longer list the front assemblies I bought as in stock. They were unbranded castings, but they did have Timken bearings in them.

I don't think you can go wrong with SKF.

Over 200k is very good from the originals. My fronts went after about 100k, and the rears at about 160k. At least one of them did, I just changed them both when one went bad.

Cheers lad, I'm looking at an skf replacement. The blueprint unit I bought littery did around 30k and compared to the lr originals that did over 200k the blueprint units are a little disappointing

Mark Piercy said:

The timkin over is over 160€ if not more in some shops...
For that you could replace the whole unit. Which I tried with a blueprint unit and it started to fail afert just over 2yr
SKF are a good make

Sadly the brand name on the part or box means little these days, there is so much fake stuff about.
