Took all the wheels off last weekend for a good clean and noticed when putting the front ones back on, what I would consider to be excessive play in the wheel bearings. They don,t look obvious so any tips on adjusting would be appreciated.
Thanks

basically good clean/inspection repack with grease and tighten back up to manufacturers settings if they are still slopy you need new bearings

Thanks for that. At the risk of looking a complete plank, I was expecting to see a castlated nut and split pin arrangement but found a small bolt bead in the middle of the hub. Presumably all will become apparent when I undo one.
