rear wheel bearing---Freaky

[nick40]

Hi People


3 Months ago I took my wheels apart for powder coating, put bearings back in and they had a nice resistant fit. Put them in with a threaded bar and washers, all was good...

Today I took the rear wheel off to clean the swing arm and one of the bearings just came out no resistance at all.

common sense would suggest either the bearing has shrunk or the wheel has got bigger, both sound bad to me..

Any Ideas folks


Thanks

nothing to tell from the bearing shell / hub ?

[Pedro]

hazarding a guess, I'd say the wheel has stretched......

Usually if a bearing is loose its siezed and spun in its housing. Are there any signs of this?
