measure it and see if you can use a ball peen hammer to careflully bash the bearing cover flat. maybe then the covers might fit better.
This is good site to watch.I found it informative as I have been researching a lot lately on such matters such as you talk about.
The hub comes out just as far as the cap, the cap only sits 1mm, over the hub nut. So i need some hub spacers, anyone got some 20mm ones![]()
