So has anyone done thier rear wheel bearings ?

Appears to be a little more work involved that the fronts?

Looks like its time for a decent write up.

Anyone have a garage with lots of tools & a good camera they'd like to share ? PM me please.

I did my bearings last week.

Though I changed the whole hub assembly instead.

So it made it a bit easier.

I thought the biggest problem would be taking off the 32mm hub nut, but that was quite easy with a breaker bar, helped with a 4ft cheater bar.
The biggest problem my dad and I faced was taking the CV joint out of the hub assembly, it felt as if it had welded itself in there... 90,000km, heat and rust build up.
So we used a heavy HEAVY duty puller to take it out.

I've got pics of the axle puller, showing it's sheer size.

maybe I'll just take it to a workshop to pull off the old bearing.
I've removed the axle or half shaft a few times....should be a walk in the park.

Mania did it repeatedly at Phillip Island a bit over a year ago. I think they got it down to less than 10 mins.
