[ROVERNET - UK] Front bearing and seals

[David Read]

Hi Lance
If for some reason Ben's notches are not available ....

A Oz "bush" fix is to zap the old bearing tracks at 3 equally spaced 
intervals with beads of weld that project sufficiently to allow a drift 
to be used.

Had to do this to a Defender wheel recently ... worked suprisingly well.

Cheers and good luck
Dave
