Play in Novatec F482SB-SL rear hub

I have noticed a slight bit of play in my novatec rear hub. It's noticeable when moving the rim from side to side. The end caps of the hub are done up tight so that's not the problem. Could it be the bearings need changing?? The hub has only done 300 miles but i've heard that the original bearings don't last long and don't like wet conditions.
Any ideas??

I had to replace the main hub bearings after one winter and about 5-600 miles. I swapped out the factory fitted ones with some SKF double sealed units about 2 years ago and these were still going strong when I sold the wheelset recently.
This video instructs on the removal of old and fitting of new bearings.

However you don't need that expensive looking set of bearing presses. A read at my experiences in this thread will give you an idea of the DIY approach. The step by step "guide" is towards the end.
