Hi All,
Just bought a new clutch release bearing from shoebox-central. There is play between the bearing and the hub, and there is audible grinding when spinning the bearing. Just wondering if this is normal?

Thanks,
Justin

Ummm... No. It should be like any other sealed bearing; tight and smooth.
