Re: The dreaded rear hub bearing

Its not a job I've ever had to do, thankfully, and I don't think rear wheel bearing failure is that common really. I've always had at least one 2000/2500 since 1976 and the one rear hub bearing that was noisy was cured with a s/h driveshaft from a scrapper !

I have a nice near stock SD1 rover 3500 I would like to fit to my TC2500, but I want to retain my Triumph 4 speed + o/d gearbox.
