Re:I managed to crack the ABS ring! :)
Yesterday I went for a 35 mile test drive to check my gearbox I had re-built 4 times recently...luckily all noise has gone and box worked like new! :woohoo:
Then I discovered that my off side rear wheel bearing has also gone....diff oil was everywhere.

Today I started in my garage as usual. :blink: I have never replaced wheel bearing before so I thought I give it a go.
After a few hours of cutting and grinding the both ABS ring and wheel bearing were off the shaft. I never thought I will be so happy for a crack! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Assembly is due tomorrow.

I'm wondering how often I will need to do it as this particular bearing was replaced 3 years ago and the car has run only 8K miles ish since. :S Most of it's journey was 70 mph on motorways with only 300 miles heavy off-road. No other wheel bearing has been replaced since I bought it in 2015 (I've driven only 22K miles).
Altough I managed to get them off carefully I've seen signs of careless use of angle grinder...

I found cutting the bearing was more difficult than ABS ring therefore I'm planning to pull the bearing off next time. Ordered two 36" long 3/8"UNC threaded bars which hopefully will work nicely with my 20t press
