It's been a long time since i received these hubs. I am having a senior moment and forgot what it the process of the install is.
1. Pull the old hub and remove C clip from knuckle.
2. Remove old bearing
3. Install new bearing and c clip
4. Insert new hub until it's flush
anything else i am forgetting. The bearing has seals on the back and nothing else is needed, correct ?

I've been busy. If you submitted an order on the order form, then I have it. There's only a few waiting for hubs, so I should be able to clear that out relatively quickly.
*** the dust shield
-remove seal
-remove oem hub
-remove snap ring
-remove bearing
-replace bearing, press on outer race only
-re-install snap ring
-press hub into bearing, support bearing inner race
-replace seal
Make sure the thin(1mm) washer that is glued on the back of the MR2 hub is present when installing and that it didn't fall off in shipping or handling, as well as the thicker aluminum washer that is lightly pressed into the "outer" bore that the axle nut seats against.

First Post
I was put onto these hubs through the Aussie forum as 3 members bought them in the initial group buy.
I did not have a very powerful MX5 at the time, nor did it have much mileage on it so didn't require them, but now I do have a high power, high mileage car so I want in.
I sent through an enquiry about these hubs (along for some other parts) 4 weeks ago and have followed up with an email with no response.
Is Sean still around?
I'm very patient as I only have 1 more sprint event this year at the end of October, and won't need anything installed in the car until the new season starts in March next year. SO I will have 4 months.
Will be doing the diff centre, mounts, diff bracing etc so may as well do the hubs, studs and bearings at the same time.
An update would be nice though, so I don't go down other avenues.
