One step forward, two steps back...
Yesterday morning, armed with some folding money, I went to collect my brake drums from the above mentioned Good Samaritan. True to his word he brought them out, freshly machined. When I asked him "What's the damage?" he replied "Nothing, always glad to help someone out". Amazing! Earlier I'd Fertan'd my back plates so I was ready to start re-assembly. Woo Hoo!
I popped a back plate over a half shaft, and slipped the latter into the axle, only to find that the bearing was slightly too deep. Aaaaaagh! Being a trusting soul, I'd taken the Ebay vendor's description that they were correct for this application. So, I now have to go round the block again .
I've bought the correct set after VERY careful scrutiny of both the vendor's feedback comments and item photo's/description. Fingers crossed I'll be refunded and end up only the twenty quid I paid for having them pressed on out of pocket.
It's no fun if it's easy. Yeah, right.
Regards, Mick
