[damselfly]

Ok, one of my vehicles using 5x11x4 mm bearings needed a bearing change, so I decided to take the inners out of the old ones and salvage some " crush tubes ". One bang with an hammer on the bearing while stood upright allowed me to get these out without any deformation. They are a perfect fit diameter wise, but they're about 1.5-2mm too long and will not allow both bearings to fit in the hub carrier simultaneously.
I will buy some bearings with a 2mm and 3mm width in the hope that I can make some that fit.
To date though, my venture continues.
