Hello

Rebuilt a series 3 front hub and when I tapped the second wheel bearing in I knocked it in a bit too far and clamped the spacer tube. I had aligned the tube ok as I'd put a bolt through the other bearing, and the wheel fitted fine onto the scoot.
Other than it potentially being a bit of an arse removing the bearings in the future is there any real prob with this minor faux par?
I have been using the scoot a bit with no horrific accidents or tyre melting heat building up from the additional friction.

cheers

If the spacer is putting pressure on the inner races then it's likely that the bearings will wear prematurely.
