List,

I'm preparing to do a complete brake job this weekend and while I'm at it I
plan to replace the front wheel bearings. I have complete bearing sets with
races and oil seals. The bearings are conical roller bearings, not balls.
Here are the questions:

1) What type of bearings are original, ball or roller? I have a 68B.

2) With roller bearings do I need shims? I spoke to an old MG (certified in
the old days) machanic who said I only need shims if I have ball bearings.
What's the list wisdom?

Thanks
