I know the bolt is supposed to be free in the sleeve. But there is also
no lubrication available after fitting, so I thought the sleeve was to
move in the plastic and be pinched in the upright. Made sense since the
bolt was rust welded in the sleeve and I had to use a carbide sawblade
to cut the sleeve and bolt to get hub assy out of the upright.
I will try again with a different set of trunion parts.
