Hi Tom.. agree with your physics approach to fitting but what about getting the old one out.. is it a case of knocking hell out of it or is there a method that employs a little bit of cleverness :s:D


A little bit of cleverness and some persuasion with a hammer ;)

No, didn't the beat the shit out the hub or anything. Just a handful of good punches with the hammer and everything came apart. Used an old big socket between the hammer and the bearing.
