I did my rear bearings about 2 months ago.
Same bearings as per Geordie.
In the grand scheme of things I had very little issue getting the inner bearing out. It just took time to get the gear together and modify / make the tools. And then the job took a lot of time as I was very careful not to break, twist or crack anything.
Hardest part was figuring out and making up a lock nut spanner. I got a deep socket from Toolmart (can't remember the price but was not cheap) and took to a local shop who cut the drive end off and welded a handle to it. 54mm I think it was (with out going out into the pyshing rain in the dark to have a look).
One fcuk up here was I destroyed the ABS collar getting it off the axle before I could undo the nut. Lesson learnt.
I bought two 1/2" 4ft HT GR5 UNC threaded bars from Blackwoods ($35 each) and welded two bolts to one end that went into the bearing housing caliper adaptor stud holes with a nut under the flange (the adaptor moves down against the axle flange enough to get a nut in).
On the top end I had a bit of drilled 1/2in flat plate held in place with nuts on the threaded bar, a 1/2in hole through this for a bolt with a nut on the underside pressing on the axle shaft, and I pressed the axle shaft out. ($35, I don't have a welder and bolts aint cheap)
Once it was out a brass drift got the outer grease seal and spacer out (easy, spacer was reusable Geordie, grease seal was not), then flipped over and on to my bearing press and just pressed out the inner bearing.
Pressed bearing in after heating the bearing hub (called a cage in the manual) in the oven set to 80deg. (no, it did not cook the grease on the inner prepacked bearing).
Once everything had cooled down I put the grease seal into the outer hub, slid to spacer over the axle shaft and carefully inserted the axle through the seal, bearing hub and inner bearing till it would not go any further. Then pressed it home with the bench press.
On with the lock washer and lock nut and did the nut up as tight as I could, then gave it a good lick with a hammer as the manual says it needs to be made up to 350 ft-lbs. Which is pretty damn tight and I was a bit worried about this, but both electronic and paper manuals say the same number.
Then on with the ABS rotor till it butted up to the lock nut, driven down with the press. On with the oil seal. The hub turned freely on the axle, so I guess it was good.
And then put is all back together.
No rumbles from the back end and the wheels have not fallen off after a few thousand k's, so all go I guess ...
I should have taken pictures, and may have missed a bit here and there above, but it's a general outline.
Time taken, well, the question is do I admit how long it took me ???
Feck it, the whole damned weekend.
Forgot about O ring, same as Geordies account above.
