Livid With A Local Garage - Page 2

Well guys, we've taken the wheel and fixed hub off to find shards of metal inside the hub. The inner locking ring was floating around inside. The outer locking ring that the two screws go through had been fitted first and was hard and fast, obviously not taking up the adjustment on the bearing. One of the two screws is missing and the other one had been screwed into the outer locking ring but it's head had been totally ground off by the floating inner ring. Theres shards of metal in the bearings too.

I've been on the phone to the garage who are sending a recovery truck as I've told them it's not safe to drive which is the truth. So I'm just waiting for a call back from them.

Can't believe they could stuff that up so much Jim!

Sorry you've had so much trouble Jim.

Bunch of muppets matey. Obviously no call back from them. To be honest I'm thinking about taking it on the chin and do the job myself as I'll know it's been done properly.
