While the cambelt was being done, the gearbox was removed to be refurbed and had a new clutch fitted, so it made sense to remove a lot of parts and have them painted at the same time.
Post 3 :wink: Once the car is jacked up, hold the wheel in the fitting position (180° either side) and wiggle it up and down/side to side and see which one has play.
Pretty sure 519 once charged me £80 for a bearing replacement. That included part and labour. That was on the rear before I know...
You should remove the lower plate and paint it. Being mild steel it'll rust at the first sight of water.
Cage looks good. Looks black until you get the light on it.
99% certain that's a wheel bearing. Best way to tell is to jack the car up and check for play on each wheel. I know you probably not in a position to do so atm though.
You will be fine. I drove from Essex to the Isle of Wight and around for a week, then drove home and waited another week before...
Have a look in this thread as I posted some pics of how mine sits on the above spacer sizes.

For the oem look I'd be going 20mm fronts,10mm rears.
Wheel spacers for the fronts, hub spacers fro the rears.
25mm looks too much in my opinion where as 20mm has a small tuck giving it the oem look.
