It wasn't expensive, around £45, and they'll walk off the car now we've replaced them before.
Same thing here - they wanted a letter - I have a B.Eng degree and I am (well was, now lapsed) and licensed aircraft fitter for military jets so I can legitimately put a few letters after my name and I explained explicitly the symptoms and diagnosis and offered to return the faulty bearing. The e-bay seller (BAHUHA) just kept saying the description was inconclusive. It could not have been more comprehensive. I suspect they've bought a container full of them and there's no returns - so they just fob you off. Their behavior is that of a shyster.
