[robz]

if the bearing is going you will probably be getting grating noises aswell as wheel wobble

yeah im getting it all mate sounds horrible can hear it over the stereo and exhaust now i blame it on being to low at the front some im going to raise it a little at the weekend ive also got a cv joint to do as the gaiter is split apart 

Flypress pisses front bearings.

I could always try this first as i have one to hand at work if not to the garage for a favour

What method did you use?

[Screech16v]

Gentle pursuasion with a large vice ,large hammer and a big socket and a few small drifts,no bearings were mamed or killed in this operation :smiley:but yeah press is the way to go if u can.

It can be done with a decent engineering vice, but i have seen a couple of bearings that have taken 5 tonne of pressure to let go.
That would be very hard work without a press
