 I am just changing the rear wheel bearing, i have got the hub out but i cant get the old bearing out of the Hub, is there anyway of doing it without a proper tool. If not has anyone local to be got one i could borrow.

I watched a young gentleman in Trowbridge remove mine for me .. took him less than 30 seconds after attaching his home made bearing puller ........  a sight to behold that involved a few welded pieces of fairly heavy steel, some nuts and bolts, an axle stand ...and the final piece ... a large sledgehammer .....    a few moments aligning it all, then 3 blows with the sledge and out it popped !!!

Epic !!!

 a big long sharp chesil and a big hammer... just batter it till it comes out...make sure the car is well supported on stands.

If you're near the Medway Towns, I have the tools you need to finish the job.

The hard part is removing the hub!

Let me know,

 dont know if i've miss read it but i think he has the bearing out off the wishbone ,but the race is stuck on the hub,if so just cut the race off the hub with a small cutting disc on an,angle grinder.

pick up a set of bearing pullers for 20 quid or so. makes the job so much easier.

Hi Nick

Thanks for lending me the bearing puller, it makes life really easy. the hardest part was putting the hub back in.
I will bring the puller back sometime in the week.

Many Thanks

Paul
