You can just tap them back on using a socket and a hammer. ________________________________________ www.krisb.co.uk |

Just clean up the stub axle with some emmery cloth before trying to knock them on,and a smear of oil/grease won't hurt  ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |

+1 i walloped mine back on with a hammer and socket 12 months ago when I replaced a stub axle, then used the hub nut to help wind it on. Been fine since.________________________________________ Bye bye Sundance Kid |

thanks, done thissurprised how open the bearings are once you pull of off with them "pullers" first time i seen these things took a wee bit of persuasion with various socket sizes and rubber mallet, plenty of grease was used too  had been worried about them falling to bits but they were fine ________________________________________ TEAM HIGH BOOST SUPERCHARGED RALLYEMy Rallye project thread |
