Rear hub bearing seal
I removed the rear hub to help in sorting out the handbrake, but then saw that the backplate had almost completely rusted away - as have the other three
(these backplates are the shoddiest, flimsiest parts I have ever seen on any car).
I sent off for four new backplates and put the car back together. The hub came off and went back with no problem.
When the new backplates arrived, I removed the hub as before, but this time the inner race stayed on the axle, and a white plastic ring fell on to the floor.
I assume this is a seal, but I can't quite see how it works. It looks as though it is meant to click into a groove in the inner race.
Somehow it has got a bit mangled. How is it meant to fit, and where can I get a replacement?
The car has done less thn 100 miles since it had new wheel bearings
