The Park tools website is the best I have seen at explaining generic hub overhaul.
cool - that explains it after reading this I've been doing it from the wrong side - I should be adjusting play from the non-drive side... thanks :-)

fixed it now - however cones are pretty shot as the bearings were rammed so hard against them they have dented! Makes horrible noises as it freewheels!

Wow Orange, you put a lot of rise on your bars!  Doesnt that make it awkward on steep climbs?

I need the rise as I have very long legs compared to my arms, so given the seat is way up high, I have to bring the bars up to meet my arms!! I do have the Marzocchi knob though which drops the front suspension a couple of inches and stiffens it so I do that when going up hill!!
