Rear wheel bearings

great news for me,
the garage that fitted the previous wheel bearing still had it under guarantee, realising the hassle he had caused me the garage then decided to supply me with new bearings, oil seals, and oil distributor. They removed the old retaining rings and bearings, pressed the new ones onto the half shafts and, as previously agreed, gave me the job for free labour and half price on the parts (£48.00)which I thought was a fair enough compensation as the car is on axle stands waiting for the half shafts to go on, and the bearing on the passenger side was not their responsibility. so now all is good and well handshakes and understanding, rebuilding the rear axle and wheels on saturday, fitting new brake pipes tomorrow. and as I did not know, new bearings have absolutely no play in them at all
