It's absolutely ludicrous and I expect they seize up in a matter of months!
Anyways, I digress, back to the story.
....Tim Cartledge very kindly sent me his knackered assemblies to fix to keep me occupied
(or rather 'cos he's too lazy to fix them himself! 
)I decided to fix them last night, shouldn't take long.
... 
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, what a catalogue of disasters!
Goes a bit like this:
1) Start to cut the old tubes off and my newish die grinder explodes
2) Ok, not to worry, I'll get the receipt and take it back to B&Q and get a new one
3) Errrm, having spent an hour looking through my
*filing system* I realise I have thrown the receipt out ](./images/smilies/eusa_wall.gif "Brick wall"){kind=small}
4) Decide to use my old grinder
(which has noisy bearings)5) Turn the garage upside to try and find the damn thing
, finally find it.6) Brilliant, finally getting somewhere, nearly done.
.... 
7) BANG! Bearings fail completely, disc shatters and nearly takes my eye out
8
) Continue on labouriously with a hacksaw, finally get it to bits. 
9) Get up at stupid o'clock this morning
'cos I remembered the landlords parents are coming round this morning and I need to tidy up the *garage* (aka a kitchen 
)10) PTFE tape the threads in the wrong direction, meaning it just unwinds itself when you screw the threads in
(x2)11) Assemble the first one but can't get it to go fully home.
I'd overpacked the tube with grease !12) Unassemble, remove some grease and try again, it still won't go fully home.
.13) Unassemble again, measure up and then realise that it was fully home all along, some threads should protrude.
...Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

Removing the two ends:
Modifying Toyota's design
Finished at last!
