Been doing a bit of reading on the above and this seems to be a bit of tough job for the home mechanics among us, stripping it all down then having bearings removed and new ones pressed in, would it be easier to buy a new hub and bearing then get the bearing fitted then just replace the hub.
any thoughts on this

no probs at all. except you need a 10 / 20 tons press to push out the old bearing. and once done the car needs a 4 wheel alignment. Achim

Thats the way I do it anyway, I have a set of hubs that are refurbished, with all new parts, then its a straight swap.

He was lucky they where not to tight then, I have a 20 ton press and I have sometimes struggled to get some old bearings out of the hub's.
Also had a lot of hubs stuck on the driveshaft splines, so you need a puller to get them apart.

Yeah the impact action of the gun probably did all the hard work for him. Bet it would of been hard going just by hand!

Thanks for the info, I reckon having one built up ready is a good idea

I did mine at home with a 12 ton press. It's no not too bad, just have to be patient. A Dremel to cut the stuck races helped.
Factor in a new dust shield for the handbrake, it will either get bend Trying to take the bearing out, or will be so rusty that's it's not worth putting back on.
