Default not a pm

Its afternoon here Mike, P.M. that is..... Anywho. you obviously have Timken taper rollers in that wheel. they may work fine in there as long as the inner bearing is not mis aligning that front wheel. the wheel will probably sit too far out on the axle so if the taper roller bearings are u/s. replace them as per Perry,s instructions. (but fit the bearing with the big ID on the inside of the wheel. it will go together easier that way) note: between the two ball bearings a spacer is required, so that you can lock the nut up tight. If you use the taper rollers there will be no spacer and you will have to adjust the preload on those bearings by way of that nut.
Another thing about metric versus imperial Mike, all the flat steel in the UC's is metric. same with the Brit. built carriers.
....Bye...
