[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 84513, member: 60"] Wish you were here Bill! I have been putting off renewing the rear wheel bearings on my BMW Difazio project. When the hub is worn it looks like a real nasty of a job to insert the RH taper cup down inside the tunnel after heating the hub. I have the bearings an infra red temp gun some special locktite to wick up the sides and a tool to insert the gubbins but I am very loath to do it -very out of character!:( let alone sorting the preload though I have read about Heath Robinson arrangements of string and spring balances and stuff :eek: No doubt about it, the Phils had it sorted years before [/QUOTE]
