my problem is the axle after removing it. it was covered in rust so i cleaned it up witha brush
fitted all the new bearings x3 seals etc and went to re press the axle in and found that you can push it by hand an has a bit of play in the inner races also that the brake mount that goes on the axle is spinning and loose too
my question is how and why would this b the bearings were so tight to get off had to grind and chissel them off
also i priced a new axle from colmans was 175 and 3 weeks
is iit possible to get a engineer to make one for cheaper basically a big bolt isnt it
