Changed the n/s/r hub due to the noisy wheel bearing (only been noticeable for the last 300 miles), had to grind through the inner race of the inner bearing as It stayed firmly in position on the stub axle when I removed the hub.
A thorough clean up of the stub axle, wipe over with ACF-50 and assembly with a new hub and nut soon saw the car back on its wheels.
Took it for a road test - total lack of the horrible drone from the rear end, so job well done.
Picture of the picked up bearing race (notice the dried up remains of the old grease).
