yep, looks all complete there mate.

very very easy to change. get a haynes manual ;)

[Lee]

... and a big socket the same size as the bearing helps to beat it out lol

[Stuart]

for a rear you actually need a punch/drift to get the old bearings out ;)

[Adam]

It will just fall out when you remove the drum, well, mine did anyway,Lol.
Then replace with the new one, but make sure you dont overtighten the nut,Lol.

[Stuart]

you did change the race didnt you? :s

[Adam]

I wasn't changing the bearing, i was removing the brake drum.

But the bearing just fell out, must have just been the roller bearing tho, not the other bit.

[Stuart]

the rollers and inner race will fall out, but the outer race needs knocking out and the one fitting

[Adam]

That explains it then, the part that fell out when rolling down my drive :p Lol

[richi]

okay?!?!?!? so whats a punch/drift when its at home?

[Stuart]

a punch.. its a rod of metal that you can hammer to get stuff out.....
a drift is very very similar
