I thought I'd replied to this a while back, but it disappeared. 
Wonderful problem solving there on the bearing. 
And pleased to see the subframe is better than I expected (and the MOT advised?)
Out of interest which exact Rustoleum product do you use?
I also note re the leaking output shaft that I'm not alone.... http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=16666
And I remember the horrid smell of that stuff dripping onto the exhaust!
