When replacing bearings in a 550 front hub are they pressed in to place in the same order as on the rear, so retainer side first then the right side (non retainer side) until it just contacts the spacer?
I always fit the fixed side first up to shoulderthen spacer and other side
But that would leave the bearings able to shift sideways if not tight up against the bottom of the bearing recess
I've assembled the hub tonight, with bearings and spacer fitted it ends up flush on the right side in order that the retainer presses the left bearing up to its seat. As I recall that's how it was when I disassembled it
