I bring you the trailing arms, old bearings removed, bearing housing cleaned and ask you to press in the new bearings, which I've supplied.
How long might it take, and what might it cost? |

Yup... Beat the old ones out anyway you can. New bearings in the freezer, clean bores in trailing arms and apply a *light* coating of antiseaze, heat bore up with torch, drop bearings in... You can use the shell of the old bearings and a hammer to help seat the new ones.
Stub axle is just as easy. Push it in by hand, flip the castellated nut around so the castellated end enters the bearing and grabs the threads. Pull the stub axle through that way until you can flip it back around and use a washer and the nut the "right way round". Impact guns make short work of this part. |
