hi all.the rear wheels failed on my mot,they had play in them,the guy who i bought it from said he,d fitted new bearings.the castle nut was tightened with a bar,so if they,ve put new bearings in would the rear wheel shaft be damaged,has anyone had this problem.thanks a mill.and does the bearing need to be pressed out or like we did tap with a hammer and a bit of wood and it came out,cheers.
