I can't post in the wanted section for some reason, so I can't directly ask anyone who would likely use that section!

I can understand if theres a post limit on selling items, but requesting wanted items, don't see the point of making it so tricky.

Anyway, i'm not trying to circumvent posting rules, but I still need a bearing/hub assembly for my 2.6 V6 51 Plate Omega on the drivers side, so either reccomendations for cheap new items from trusted sellers, or if anyones breaking an Omega and isn't too far from Bath/Bristol and i'm happy to put on a decent and used replacement instead if the price is nice.

Sorry once again if any mods think i'm being an arse, but how else can I ask with this wanted section restriction?

the guidelines mention placing wanted ads in the test zone where we move them to the correct area

no other way to auto enforce the difference sorry.

Been pondering this for a while, and wondered of the issue might be with the nut... do you re use the old nut, or fit the new nut that comes with the bearing? Perhaps?

Because the last one I fitted on the drive I had issues with, the nut thread didn't seem as smooth as the original, and wondered if it was effectively seizing un the stub axle thread making the torque wrench click out early. I re torqued a genuine one the other day to take out some play and it was way smoother at 320nm than the contitech jobbies.... Although I am working from memory which is never a good thing.

Just trying to find an explanation...?

Yep, can`t see a problem, it`s not exactly a "stretch" nut

Agreed. Hmmm, that might explane it then.
