sounding much like they were saying:

And don't blast out all the lubricants from the bearings!

Urban myth - totally impossible.

Oh, I beg to differ... Wheel bearings are a consumable on the 4x4 2cv
conversions, because they're just not sealed against water sufficiently.
No non-4x4's bearings will be designed for that kind of water ingress.

Whether it's EASY to get that much water to the bearings is another
question - but I really wouldn't put it past some ham-fister numpty with
a B&Q Karcher to manage.

He'd have to be really determined.
