Disco 3 (LR3) Hub bearings

Hub removal from Discovery 3, that was seriously tight, the 12 pound mallet was not doing it, just hard enough to get a swing, so large bolt as jack, and once the gap started, penetrating oil down front, and more important pushed shaft in and sprayed from back, then two opposing wedges, result.

Cheers mate, yes I enjoy a challenge, much tighter than my D2 hubs.

Suppose its only right that I should mention all is good with the hub, really just need to take a note of the mileage and see how much I get out of it, done the usual stuff while it was apart, disc cover cleaned, primed and painted, lip on disc ground off ready for new pads in a few months time, and such like, good it's all finished, gives me space to do the watts linkage on the D2, when I get some time, used my 5' torque wrench set at 350 N/M which did feel right, and remembered to ding the lock nut, cheers for info
