I think he needs to get down the gym, when we said hit it, we meant HIT it!

Thats great.

As this job is being done in situ do you have the tools to pull the new bearing and then the hub back in? I made mine and if needed you are welcome to use them.

.... well once I got the hub out it all went well

Mike's home brewed bearing tool worked fantastically , as did his home brewed tool for reinstalling the hub back into the bearing

The offside bearing ended up taking quite a while to do due to the problem extracting the hub ..... the nearside I have just completely done in under 3 lazy hours

The hub popped out pretty quickly
