What we need is a machining guru kind of fella that can make shafts?... :whistle:

facade wrote: I pulled the bearings off the shafts in my gearbox with one of these, (you might get the wheelbearing off with some extra threaded bar, but I doubt if you could pull the bearing and the abs collar at once.)






and pressed it all back together with one of these (mine is a 10 tonne one), I pressed my wheelbearings back on with it too.




Both useful pieces of kit, but you don't exactly need them everyday ;)


Would a press of that type be capable of removing / fitting the one-piece bushes found in the front and rear radius arms ?

Yes it would probably help if you find a socket the right size to help push it in more evenly :)
