Cheers mate I put it on last night but I'll check it tonight. I dont know if you know much about these but even though I've replaced the suspected bearing there is still a droning noise when I'm driving. it's driving me nuts! Any ideas what else it could be? I really can't pin point where it's coming from either ?
where do you start... tyres, hole in the exhaust, worn bushes, brakes.
what are the circumstances when it happens?

They are 32mm rear, 36mm front, should get new nut with hub/bearing kit so can match up with correct socket, and a breaker bar for leverage is good to have also.
