While messing with my off side free wheeling hub the other day I thought it was time to check any movement in the bearings. Did the usual thing- jacked up the corner and had a jiggle N,S E n W.

Found some movement north and south. Tightened the nut one castlation and still a minute wobble. Went another three teeth with no reduction in movement. The other side is fine.

I can’t move the sodding thing from under the heap looking for something else moving so what do you recon it might be before I tear the axle off.

Is the hub attached to the axle ok? It has been know for these to come loose.

As above, may be fixed for a while just by removing a shim or two but long term new bush/pin kit.

I’ve got a bush but the one on it ain’t that old. Paddocks cocked up on their website and I got two full swivel ball kits for £12.

Then again they were probably britpart ones.

So is the cheese on the moon

Good in relation to their old ones or good compared to an aluminium pound coin.
