rear bearings

[slim]

I have noticed a noise when i turn left only it seems to be coming from the rear drivers side wheel.

well this morning whent out and had a quick look, took the wheel off and the drum. i found that theres a lot of movment in the shaft. i then inspected the left hand side and found it to be nearly has bad. could this just be bearings that need changing if so to get into the bearing do i remove the four bolts that are behind the brake assembly???? and will it need any speacial tools??

Some of the 'big equipment' described isn't necessary. You can cut/smash off the old bearing retaining collar with a Dremell and hammer & chisel (big screwdriver). The old bearing can similarly be removed from the hub without recourse to Acetyline torch and a huge press (like we've all got those!!).

Refit- main thing hear is to press in the new bearing with even force. Use a big vice (6"+) and turn the whole job round every mm to make sure the beaing goes in the hub straight.

The bearing retaing collar is best tapped down evenly using a five foot length of 2" dia scaffold pole over the halfshaft.

I've changed three now it gets easier each time- make sure you get a quality bearing.
