Out or a cruise around the water tonight I detected a "Thunk thunk thunk" in
the front right wheel of my 1966 TR4A "IRS" (Wires). Each "Thunk" was in
time with a full wheel rotation....

Yes the wire wheel is on tightly...

And when I feather the brakes the "Thunk" goes away. There is no excessive
"Play" in the wheel that I can determine.

I am woundering if it is a bearing ?

If so, it has been  a very long time since I have pulled them apart. Can you
please tell me... are the bearings pressed into the hub ? As in, do I need a
shop to Re and Re them ?? Any seals ?

Thanks, Pat
