Front wheel bearings

Post by joe cavalier sri »

Hi just a quick question does the front wheel bearing have a bearing bigger than the other as I've pressed one in and fits perfectly and the other pressed out but the new one is smaller the outer diameter so I matched it up to the old one and its same size now is there a sleeve or are they sided it's strange and confused me I'll get some pictures to to show you what I mean :thumb
