The 3 Wheeled Car…

Howdy!
(apologies to those subscribed for the multiple emails today!)
How far can a car with one wheel missing go?
So… eventually decided to look into it… jacked the car up and rattled the wheel, there was a bit of play {guessing 2mm-ish in being able to move the wheel horizontally away from the car}. Rotating the wheel had a “rough spot” which scraped on each turn (this was after the caliper was off, so no rubbing with the brake pads possible) (just found the parenthesis key on this keyboard!)
With little more than a leatherman, a rubber mallet and a wrench {oh and an allen key} I got the various bits of the bearing off…
