Hi,
am trying to replace the front wheel bearing on an `88 Uno. Bearing`s out, but the screw in retaining ring was so badly corroded / stuck that I had to destroy it to remove, and consequently the thread in the bore of the carrier is damaged and the new retainer will not screw in. I`ve searched on ebay for a new hub to no avail - but there is one for a `98 Cinquecento.... does anybody know if these might be interchangeable. I know it`s a long shot but, I`m lost for ideas and it would be a shame to scrap after 34 years. (the lower ball joint is tapered rather than the `clamped` type a la Punto.)
