My '34 SLM passed its annual UK annual MOT safety test yesterday.
I had a couple of "advisories", steering wheel free play - well what does one expect?
Also one of the front wheel bearings has some play, mmm maybe.
Anyhow I don't seem too easily find any details about front wheel bearing replacement, or what type of bearings they are, taper or not.
Can anyone advise please?
I am sure I can figure it out myself, but it is nice to know what one is up against prior to disassembly.
Thanks

Re: Front wheel bearings
last set I got from Dave H. were NOT tapered bearings, looked like normal bearings to me.

Re: Front wheel bearings
Just a straight bearing, readily available. I recall it being an RMS 8 or 10
