Guys,

Am about to order the rebuild kit of bearings and shafts.

Is it a relatively simple job of pressing out the old ones and pressing in the new ones? Are there specific depths etc you press the new ones in to?

I've access to a 12 ton press to do it, just don't wanna mess it up.....

2mm inset, 12 should do it, though have seen more to get them shifted.

Mine came out really easily! Thought it'd be really difficult but was pleasantly surprised. My press is a cheap ebay 12 ton one and it didn't get anywhere near its full pressing capacity. I didn't need to but if you heat the trailing arm up first it will help.
