Good Afternoons work - Rear Hub Bearings
Decided I could not put it off any longer!
Finally got round to replacing both rear wheel bearings this afternoon. Having been warned what a bitch of a job it was I finally plucked up the energy.
Well for those of you who need to do them, don't put it off any longer. Armed with the Bruce Arnn bearing extractor I changed both and serviced & adjusted the handbrake in 3 hours with coffee breaks.
1 Tip I would offer is put the new bearings in the freezer for an hour before you fit them, they nearly go in on their own!
Thanks to everybody for input on my initial posting on this topic
PS If any of the UK Boys need the extractor tool give me a shout
