tip for future, the spring clip on the handbrake cable is easier to get at once the four bolts on the axle have been removedhad a garage replace one(driver side rear) shortly after I got the car 3 years ago from a dealership (no info about previous owner) both rear wheels have always worn tyre tread on the inner side of rim, I am now replacing the oil seal on the passenger side as it is now leaking, so I thought it would be a good Idea to replace the wheel bearing as I have to take the half shaft out anyway and hopefully fix tyre wear problem,the bearing has a bit of play on it should it have any at all? the car is a W reg (2000 i think) thanks for reply.
