Front bearings

[Bob Culver]

Many do come apart very easily. but in strong sun can usually inspect all parts of assembled races although it is tdious. Do Seven mains properly fitted ever fail by classic pitting? Most of the very old ones I have have worn due corrosion, evident from grey colour. I gather balls are selected within their tiny range to give exact clearances but if shimming probably no matter. I question the notion of signifiacnt preload containing the crank rigid. Seems to me desirable to just eliminate radial movement. I have fitted with, but car had steel lip.
