Front wheel bearing

celt69 · Apr 12, 2013

Evening All,
does anybody know if I need any special tools to change the front wheel bearing on my beast. I am a capable mechanic but not sure if I need a press ect to remove the bearing or just a hammer and chisel.

cheers in advance.

Have you got a vice, some angle iron nuts and bolt. Make an 'A' type frame put bottle jack underneath and take your time that's what I use not as fast as the stuff in my local garage but does the job. When I figure out how to post a drawing on her i'll put it up for you.
