is it cup/cone bearings though?
Damn Peugeot electrics and modern car design - there is a connection!
Ach, cut a long, long, long story short - alternator on #1 daughter's car gave out. I volunteered to take the car to the garage next day, while she was at work.
Cycled over, opened the car, chucked the bike in the back, jump-leaded the car, it started ...... and died. No way does damned car show any sign of starting.
And now alternator failure generates miscellaneous electrical failures throughout the car. Including the back door - it's impossible to open without electrical power.
Blast - bike's in the back. Ex (a lot smaller and more lithe than me) has to climb in, and manhandle the blasted thing, through some improbable and physically impossible contortions, to get it out the passenger door.
Sh*t - there's play in the back wheel that wasn't there an hour ago. Take back wheel down to
Halfords - guy tightens the cones. This seems to work - but there's just a wee bit of play still there. Bless him - the guy insists on taking the whole thing apart
.............. and it wasn't loose cones but
a broken axle. Whole thing just tenuously held together by the QR.
Guess it was an old age fracture just waiting to happen, and I suppose I ought to be glad it happened how it did ... but there is a special place in Hell reserved for all involved in the design and manufacture of peugeot electrics.
