Andy,
Have you ever changed out the rear bearings? If not it's probably a good idea. I managed it myself with little drama... Freezing the bearing and heating the trailing arm is key to getting them in easy. |

Or just use a bearing pulling and make it even easier (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) They should just pull right in. Then when you tighten the stub axle everything really tightens. |
