Found this thread on Google. Goldmine. Fixed my rear wheel in a leisurely hour. Used a roll of duct tape instead of blocks of wood to prop the wheel up on. Not sure how tight nuts that go next to the bearings should be... But wheel spins nice and smooth so I'm not too worried. Thanks @Vince!

Try pulling the wheel from left to right: any play?

No problems @Danners

It is an easy job to do so it would be a shame to spend £20-£30 to get it done in a shop.

I usually tighten the nuts neat the bearings by hand and that's been working fine.
