Hello Spitfire owners - 2 questions - My 78 Spitfire has a bad left rear 
wheel bearing.  I got a bearing set from Spitbits, and am having the work done 
by 
a reputable shop, but not one that specializes in Triumphs.  Everywhere there 
is warnings about the steps to removal and replacement of bearings.  Haynes 
wants you to have a special hub removal tool.  My repair people assure me they 
can get the job done, after looking at the steps in the Haynes book.  Is it as 
difficult as it made out to be?  They make it sound impossible, but obviously, 
lots of us are driving around with good rear wheel bearings.
Does anyone have any experience with 155/13 Cooper Sport GTL tires with a 
Spitfire?
John
78 Spitfire
