Hey guys, Im putting my diff in this weekend, need to know the easiest way to remove the rear wheel bearings. I looked in the gregorys book and it said i need a slide hammer?? Any help would be appreciated Thanks

I'm pretty sure you can use the brake disc/drum as a makeshift slide hammer.

Have a look at this thread by Jet-6... http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=21357

Mate used like a chisel like tool and chopped the metal bush in half after a couple of hits.

Done this with my dad on my first VL Berlina when i was 19,We used a chisel couple of hard hits with the hammer it was out Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

make sure you apply light heat(not much at all) to the new lock ring before fitting. It takes a decent press to press it back on, and a small amount of heat helps a lot.Dont heat past straw colout. You will need a bearing clamp to press old bearings off and will destroy old bearings in the process, the locking collar just needs a few hard hits with a chisel about 4 different places around, this will stretch it and will slide off easily.
