handbrake needed a little adjustment, "i like no more than 3 clicks"

so i adjust it jack the back up to see if its binding it is a little so i let it off a bit

then i check the wheel itself

bollocks wheel bearing has play
both side's
so i check the front and need new pads

so after doing a handbrake i now need
2 rear bearings, shoes, cylinder and drums < might aswell kill every bird with 1 stone as its all original stuff
front disks and pads and new caliper seal kits for my new caliper's

woooo

in that case just nip them bak up again. they should have a little bit of play in them because of the sideways forces on them round corners

Dont do the bearings tight, they are supposed to have a tiny bit of play in them.
