Thank you all for reply. Yes I have put new bearings in, will remove today and look into it and let you know how it goes.

Safest to remove the wheel and bearing locking ring, then with a drift or large socket tap the OUTSIDE race home to its shoulder, then replace locking ring and refit the wheel, problem should be gone.

While I'd agree that general principles would have the loaded race pushed to avoid going through the bearing's rotating components, these rear wheel bearings will easily take that side loading.

They are, in use, subjected to significant side loading which is why they are designed with retainers to prevent the wheel assembly "shuffling" across the bearings when ridden. Along with the bearing track engagement sufficient to accept that load path.

Spitfire:
Looking at mine that retainer is sticking out a bit more.

Snednil:
Sorted, exactly as hairygit had described.
Cheers all

hairygit:
Glad it's sorted, I've seen it a few times over the years. I've seen drastic bodges to deal with it as well, such as grinding the wheel to caliper spacer down, didn't sort it! The worst one someone took an angle grinder to the edge of the caliper to get clearance, then found that they couldn't get the inner pad in!
