Here's how Ah did it.....
Firstly ah slackened the wheel nuts and drive flange nuts...
then jacked the axle up and removed the wheel (might be a good idea to use an axle stand or ye'll end up puttin' the wheel back on and then stickin' one in
)....
Next ah removed the circlip on the half shaft, removed the drive flange and then pulled out the half shaft...
then bent back the locking washer and used the proper box spanner thingy to undo the lock nut then took the washer off and undid the remainin' nut....
then stuck me thumbs over the seal and pulled the hub off...
Next ah removed the inner oil seal (cos it was the easiest) and removed the inner race.....
After that, it was a case of flippin' the hub over and with a drift/ punch/ old screwdriver/ etc ah knocked the outer out (sorry no pics but ye get the idea ). Had a bit of trouble gettin' the outer seal out, so ah knocked the whole bearin' and seal out from the other side.
(ignore last bit. Heres some photies to show what ah meant...
)
A handy wee tip for knockin' in the new bearings and seals is to cut a piece out of one of the old bearing outers.....
... that way it won't get stuck in the hub
Next ah started with putting in the inner bearing (note the old ring) and chapped it in (if it's not in far enough, use the other old ring to drive it home)...
and did the same on the other side...
then ah packed the new bearings with grease until ah couldn't get any more in and dropped it into place then fitted the new oil seal usin' the old ring again.....
flipped the hub over and did the same again....
Refitting the hub is pretty much the reverse of takin' it off...
....except when ye come to fit the first big nut, tighten it right up and slacken off nearly a 1/4 turn back. Either fit a new lockin' washer or if the old one's only bin used once, flatten it out and re-use. Check manual etc for torque settin's and that's about it. Oh, and it might be a good idea to get a new drive flange and gasket.
