Yes, noticed that "theoldseacaptain"

Normally, Mr. A. Grinder comes out to grind off the ABS Collar and Bearing, but only today I have found a local Community project called Shedheads. They have my two duff Rear Shafts with worn out bearings and decent ABS Collars "pressed" on. I asked them if they can heat up the AB collar and tap it off (then its re-useable) and maybe het up duff bearing and get that off too??? Then it'll be a trip to my friendly garage (they have a press) to pay them £10 a shaft to press bearing and ABS collar back on??? But IF i had a press, that would save me about £50 a year ...
From memory when we last discussed this, Martin has something like this -
www.machinemart.co.uk/p/clarke-csa10ep-1...nomy-hydraulic-floo/
So we'd dangle the rear shaft through the hole and then press the shaft down onto the bearing / ABS Collar ?
My local garage do it with a length of roll cage tube they pinched from me...! The tube goes over the shaft and the collar gets beaten home with a BFH (Big F... Hammer!)
I'll ask Santa for a press this year

Not sure what the dashboard might get up to when it's loose like that though...

They are all front springs from a Mercedes W124 230 E Saloon car
REMEMBER that they gave me 5" of lift on a heavy Jimny, they are right for my application, but may NOT be right for yours... I was planning on cutting them down to suit but as it happens they all fitted on - front and rear - with no cutting or modifications to any other suspension components - but again, that's for MY application.
