I have a defender which I got tracks for in July 2020. Put about 2000km on them last winter. Just had my tracks put on and a friend noticed a wiggle in the right rear track. Local mechanic at BRP here took a look and seems to be the main bearings on the track. See attached photo I borrowed from a commander forum. Waiting on bearings to come in. Wondering if anyone else had this issue with these, and if so did you upgrade to a heavier duty bearing and do you have a part number for the upgrade. I figure SKF may have something, but due to my location cannot just run out to a auto parts store.

Finally got the cog in on Friday, so I figured I would post pictures of it finished up. First I needed to get the inner racers of the bearing off the main track axel. I used a puller to do this.
