1.6 GTI rear hub bearing play

[PhilNW 43]

Just checked car in preparation for MOT and found what I though was excessive play in rear bearing even though it had new drums and bearings not long ago. Stub axles seemed OK at the time

Replaced with new SNR kit and seems to be some play still even after torquing it up to the Haynes manual setting

 

Is some play acceptable in wheel bearing for MOT?   or have I not just not torqued it enough? or something else?

Should not be any play. Is the washer present under the big nut?

[PhilNW 43]

Yes

check the head of the stub pin, I have seen some crack and allow the pin to pull through.

Looks like the stub pin is suspect possibly bent? , whats the best place to get them from ?
