Not sure which way to go.
The M o T certificate says...slight play in n/s front wheel bearing [advisory]. The examiner said the bearings need's repacking.
Yes there is some play, both at 12 & 6 and also at 3 & 9.
What is wrong with adjusting/tightening the hub retaining nut?

Re: Front wheel bearings
I just tightened the nut a bit and that worked for me. The MOT place also advised there was movement on the rear bearings. I had to tell them the bearings were C3 clearance bearings and they are designed like that and are correct when hot.

Re: Front wheel bearings
My MOT is due shortly and always worries me about the C3 bearing explanation, has not been failed on it yet but a couple of MOTs back they were picked up as an advisory as having slight play. I must remember this explanation and hope the MOT guy is familiar with it, if they are given a worse or even a failure next time.
