    Wotcha.
    Hmm - I've got a 'spare' one in the garage - rescued when our place moved
    premises not so long back.
    Three phase at the moment, but it would easily take a single phase motor.
    I reckon about £ 25 quids worth . . . . where about are you ? I'm slap
    bang in the centre of the West Midlands.

    RESULT!

    Freezer spray from Maplins on the bearing plus boiling water poured
    into the part of the hub surrounding the bearing boss, and hey presto!
