Hi Morson - next time I suggest you use a blue spring - I have blue and had no problem fitting them

Ha cheers I'll remember next time blue springs haha, the blighter got it own back today. Thought go to garage fit new brake and change the bearings on the rear. Went to move the old bulkhead out the way and bang think i pulled a muscle in my rib. First time I've done that and by God does it take your breathe away from ya.
Any way any tips on getting the new rear hub racers in? At the moment I am using the old racer to tap it in but I don't want to hit it too hard. Do I just need to keep doing it this way? I don't have a press btw

I know all about pulled muscles and worn out bones.
Just keep tapping it with the old race or a suitably sized socket. Make sure it's going in square.
