What I repaired today
Wanderer:
I drove to Devon last year and with 200 miles to go a strange bearing type noise happened, it went and came back again loads of times.
When I got to Devon Paul and I checked the wheel for play (I'd driven down after Paul so didn't check on route) and it seemed fine.
Ep 90 had leaked though.
I nipped to get some bits to do the oil seal (I usually have bearings in the back of the Disco) and all of a sudden it went from hardly any noise to absolutely dreadful noise as the disk was touching the calliper. It had obviously collapsed completely within 30 miles.
Goodness only knows where the rollers went to.
I suppose they could have been evenly spread when we tested it and then later all moved to one end race as the race was also severely damaged.
Everything changed in a field at the side of the caravan.

I've become quite adept at bearings and swivels.

Blimey these bearings do seem to have issues ! and thought it was just me!
Ed, what grease did u put on yours?
I have attached a little piccy of the remains of my bearing , and also for you Frank, a piccy of my lovely new (southern based) communal hub nut spanner.
