You're not wrong, but have been away all week and need to do all those dull chores. BTW did LMAO at your text New Years eve/morning whatever it was. Anyway, will catch up with you and the rest of the team another time.
Hope you all have a great day out.

Allo All,
Just wondering if someone might be able to shed some light on something for me,
I was looking in a cupboard for the argos book the other night, and what do i find,,,,, 2 bearings,,hub seal and snap washer thing :O
ive had them the whole time it seems, when one of my front wheel bearings went, i got 2 sets so i could have the other side done too, and forgot about the spare set when my rear one went the other week,
Question is though, is the front ones the same as the rear?
And ive been told something about needing a press to fit the new bearing?
someone i know fitted the last one, but hes not about anymore
so gonna try doing it myself

The wheel bearings are the same front and back, don't need a press to get them in or out just a drift or blunt chissel to knock the bearing races out, Best to buy a hub socket than try to bodge it only cost about £6.

That's it mate, if you haven't got new locking washers with the bearing kit try not to damage the old ones too much and just re-use them.

If you have a grinder grind the outter edge all the way around the old bearing race. If you cut it and split it you can leave rough edges and possibly cause damage to the new one plus if you leave it complete you will soon hear the difference in sound when the new bearing race is definatly home square.

Don't forget to pack the bearings with grease, and check which way round the seal goes oh and make sure you clean out all the crud from the hub and off the stub axle.

Hey Dan, where you been hiding? Thought you had fallen off the planet.
Spyderman, saw the photos from Surrey, looked good - think the Rangey would have struggled with some of those ruts - they looked pretty deep, a bit like one of the lanes I did in Wales - assessed the damage today!! Nothing too bad, a couple of deep scratches and creased bodywork.
Is everbody going to the pub meet? I assume it will be Wednesday evening.
