This little fecker here in the centre has between 1 and 2mm freeplay. is this time to replace the rear wheel bearings or is it normal?
also anyone know what size sockets i need for these on the NC30

I think the top yoke is 41mm and yes there is a bit of play in the rear wheel spindle - with gentle tap it should come flying out!!! (there is only a small 1" section on the opposite end which is splined )

Shouldn't be looking for a lot of play though...get it out of the hub and check the splines are in good nick.

if i remember correctly you will have to remove the wheel and hub nut.....and then it comes out.its only if your taking the bearer holder out that you need to remove the circlip and the caliper bracket........i think anyway,could be wrong....its been a while lol!!!!!! :D :D
