Spares: D'oh! Wrong Hub...

Long story short, went down to work on trying to get the concrete anchor to fit into the hub.  Filed the main bolt down by hand and got it to fit.  Started in on the spreader casing and switched to the Dremel.  While messing around with the bolt, I realized it worked well to catch the inside edge of the bearing to hammer it out.

Thought I'd caught a lucky break.  Knocked out both bearings and thought it was job done.

Just now... writing this... I realized I'd knocked out the WRONG bearings.  I was aiming to do the ones in the new front wheel, but had knocked out the ones in the eBay rear hub.

But maybe the theory is sound.  Going to try the bolt on the new front hub, maybe even file it down to give it an even sharper "edge".

Also, my wheel bearings for Turkey arrived today.
