    Anyone know off hand how long the front and rear internal bearing  spacers are ?
    I'm at work and want to machine up a couple of bearing press  plates with a spigot one each to hold the spacer tube square.

    Gotta ask why  the bearings hold the tube square , disc side bearing in first
    Than flip over the wheel  slide tube in than home the bearing to it 
    I’ve only ever eyeballed it  as there normally bigger I’d than the 
    Bearing I’d

    Just thought it would save a bit of rooting around with the axle spacer. Can just press the bearings in as per the correct method and the spacer will be in the right position for the axle to go straight in, no backing off the press plate, adjusting the tube, rinse and repeat.  I was pretty sure the tube is a bigger ID than the axle OD. but you have confirmed it.
    It is just an idea, if it doesn't pan out I can lop off the spigot amd just use the press plates.
