    Rear Wheel Bearing Fitting

    Guys, I've never fitted a rear wheel bearing before so I've bought a new set of dics and bearings. Can you have a look at these pics and let me know if I've been supplied the right bits?

    PICS HERE

    Firstly the bearing has a rubber lip on it, which way is this fitted? do you have the lip facing up or pressed into the disc?


    Secondly, the bearing drops into the disc easily and looks as though it only needs pressing in about 10 mm? Is this correct?


    Anyone got any ideas?

    Don't forget the bearing is held in place with a c-clip!

    he means in your picture ashy, the bearing lives toward the rear of the disc between the 2 circlip grooves (I think, from memory!)
