[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 454379, member: 20098"] Hi folks, My drivers side front inner wheel bearing has just shat itself in a big way (a week into bus ownership!), so I've got it stripped down to change both inner and outer and clean out all the swarf from the brake drum. So, the inner race of the outer bearing just slides out, but everything else was a bit tighter. I didn't make any effort to try to take the inner race of the inner bearing off, or either of the 2 outer races, but is this something that can be done with workshop tools, or do these need to be removed / pressed in place with specialist equipment? I have some 3 legged bearing pullers, but nothing else specifically for bearings. These have proved to be a bit useless in the past where there is limited space under the bearing, or not much to grip on to. Or do they just need a bit of a clout with a hammer and chisel?! Advice appreciated for anyone who's done this. [/QUOTE]
