Anyway, unless the bike's using cartridge bearings which just snap in,
those bearings are loose balls. Putting in a new axle means you need to
swap them all, so it's a bit fiddly, and you need to get the tension on the
cones just right. It's not that hard if you've done it before, but bank on
an hour or so for the first time while you tighten/loosen the cones until
you get them rolling nicely with no wobble.

OK thanks


If you want a hand or some spare parts, I've got a few dozen bikes
worth of dismantled everything and I live in Gordon.

Thanks for the offer, I'll see how I go.
