Im gonna replace the rear wheel bearings on my bus. Has anybody got any tips?
Ive heard they can be a pain to get off and on.

Any advice is greatfully received.

I didn't find them too hard to be honest but don't cheap out on bearings IMO like v-tech in the blue boxes, the ones I got where slightly oversized and had to be pressed in at a engineering shop, the second lot where SKF & *** and whilst tight and snug tapped straight in with hand tools

Use gloves as will be a very messy job.

Remember to take the circlips out & put the roller & ball bearings in the right places ;-)
