Beleve it or not I HAVE to be braved face and hold my hands up, as I DO prefer to buy Bush's ready assembled, ALSO front wheel bearings!
Im a FITTER NOT a fixer, and prefer to "Fit" ready assembled parts! I hate dooing bushes, ALSO not having a decent press, or anyway of applying a decent "Push" doesn't help me.
Front wheel bearings are the same for me! I had a car in for a front wheel bearing, and rather being pressed for time dooing the front I have fitted a "GOOD Temperary HUB" while I TRY and do the proper one, which when done I can swap back over at next service.. the useual thing has happened, the middle of the bearing has ALL come out, but the OUTER race is "Welded" in place.. Ive tried Oooodles of heat with a blow torch bit it wont move... I hate them!
(See my new whel bearing post for further details)
