    Hi guys I have just fitted new rear wheel bearings to a vs v6 s pac with abs I pressed the bearings on to the same position on the axle as the old bearings just over 9 millimetres from end of axle fitted axle brakes etc and there is about 3mm of in out movement in the axles doesn't seem right to me but last axle bearing I changed was on hr holden and was completely different to commodore one.so was wondering if the old bearing had moved on the axle and I haven't pressed the bearing on far enough, the old hr bearing just pushed on till it hit the back of the axle.
    Thanks pete

    thanks a lot strgas and markover looks like I will be pulling axles out again .I thought it was a bit strange that they didn't go all the way to back of axle. strgas when assembled with wheel on goes in and out about 3mm didn't actually measure it.
