should wheel bearings be abit of a bugger to put on just when ive put mine back on you have to kind force it on beacuse it feels like theres a little lip on the stub axle but theres no lip could this be a bent stub axle?

When you change your bearing are you changing the little metal cup that needs to be pressed into the drum?

Some bearing kits you get then others don't?!

Just An idea as my mate kept eating bearings aswel
