I have a Freelander 1.8 02 plate. I have removed the prop-shaft and taken one end off the viscous coupling but i can't get the bearing off to replace the damper!! Any help gratefully received. Do I need a special tool?
Thanks

Take a look at the how to in the Freelander section of the forum, some very nice photos courtesy of Hippo :)

You can either use a hammer and chisel method, by knocking the center of the bearing off the shaft, or cut the outer away (it's rubber mounted) and use a bearing puller.

Replacements are availble from a company called Foundry 4x4 for about £40 the pair.

Alternately, send the whole lot to Bell Engineering and let them sort it all out for you ;)
