Centre bearing removal

[Jhonno]

How do you remove a centre bearing? prop is off the car and in 2 bits (marked so it can go back the same)

dust cover and circlip removed but the damn thing wont come off!!

[stevetigger]

Keep lightly tapping the prop with a hammer whilst the bearing is held in a vice!

[Jhonno]

thought it might be summat along those lines... now where to find a vice

[stevetigger]

I used a fence post, Put the prop bearing on the fence post.....tapped the top of the prop with hammer!

[Jhonno]

I tried usin the edge of a desk but it wasnt high enough..

Got some fence posts lying about tho i reckon

[stevetigger]

Should do the trick!

[mrLEE30]

your roof should be high enough

[Jhonno]

Got it done 2day, 2 fence posts and a hammer.. slightly mishaped the head tho so it was a sod to put the prop back 2getha

New one pushed on by hand

[stevetigger]

Yes I found that too, Bitch to get off.......New one slides on!

What gives? Strange but true!
