The hub only needed a couple of taps to free it from the axle.
There is lateral movement in the bearings but at 204 Thou and being hit square on I am not surprised.
There feels to be a slight roughness when the bearing is rotated but I think its not really too bad.
Unfortunately it has not removed the intermittent clicking that seems to be comming from around that area so I am wondering if the universal joint on top of the steering rack could be doing it.
Typical process of elimination where clicks,clanks,clonks,squeaks and groans emanate from isnt it.
