[QUOTE="Zcat7, post: 575985, member: 14023"] I replaced my rears (72 model so same as yours) a short while ago and the outer bearing simply did not fit together once the inner race was pressed into place. The 2 parts fitted together fine when out of the hub so it was obviously getting "squashed" into the hub, crimping the inner race to a point that it was out of tolerance. I went back to the supplier who swapped it no problem and the replacement worked fine (different brand). Can't honestly remember which brand was good/bad but it shows that there is poor quality out there... [/QUOTE]
