how hard can it be to replace a bloody wheel bearing drivers side leg off all the ball joints etc are still intact ( a first for me ) caliper supported by some wire as im leaving it overnight.
i gets to work in a borrowed poxy corsa and start to remove the hub its all going gravy, the old bearings fall out as expected as it was shagged.
moving on i clean it all up and now its time to fit the new bearing, i hold it in my hand and drop the new bearing into the hole and ..................................

ahh nice one,vinny idwould have sent you two legs with eibachs and konis,new bearings etc for 20 a pair.....t0o late now...,leg off bash it out,measure it...order new one????????????????????? what went wrong?

[vinny_69]

the new bearing fits perfect on the inner race but the outer just drops through, lucky enough i have a plan C
if i would have wanted eibachs and konis with new bearings etc it wouldnt have made you laugh would it?
nothing is ever easy when i do it you should know that by now
