My O/S drive shaft has about 2inch play in it! It moves backwards n forwards from the gearbox in to the rubber thing whatever that is. Also the wheel moves about quite a bit in every direction!? Is this the wheel bearing thats knackered? I took off wheel, caliper and disc and there doesnt seem anything else left to take off! Cant find no wheel bearing, where are they!? Can anyone help pls?

I dont know much about the shafts but if the shaft isnt locating and staying inside the gearbox then you need a new circlip on the end that holds it in the box.

there is a big nut in the middle, either 30 or 32mm depending.. as some are either.

once you take that off you can get the bearing out
