I wired wheeled the inside hole (bore) for the bearing.
I had to be careful as the wheel sensor was no better at coming out than the rest of it, so I worked carefully around the thing..
I cleaned the bore up all shiny, spic and span.
Even razor-bladed some of the crusty crud.
Antisiezed the bolts, and stuck them through from the back side and started them all a couple of turns. Making sure all was lined up, and not wanting to have to try to rotate the bearing in its home.
Well, it was no problem.
With all the crud off and all cleaned up, it was a loose press fit, and I could have rotated if I had to.
All bolted in!
