just don't forget the retaining plate

Meir,
I also forgot the retaining plate and had to remove the brand new bearing with the sledge hammer...

Then I installed the bearings with the magnetic strip outside and had to remove them again.. to make a long story short I had to buy seven bearings to replace the four corners... "famous wrong moves"

It was was bear of a job (for me anyway..) not technical, just plain hard.. I am glad it's over

This us defenetly a jub, the require a lot of patients and attention to details.
I thing that the fact it also requires physical effort, makes you loos it when you get tired.
Add to that the lack of detailed instructions online, and the chance of making a mistake is pretty high.
Next time, I definetly need to make a video.
