Has it got the weird nut like a cage round a lot of thin nuts? My Escort had them and I destroyed one getting it off. The actual bearing change is no
problem but get ready to buy at least one new locking nut.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
