Cheers Carmac.

I've not had to do a wheel bearing for years.

Last one I did was on a MK3 Golf GTI. On that you could carefully bash the races out. Before that many many years I'd change them a lot on my original Mini along with shiming the balljoints and greasing them at least once a year

I've got two to do on the back of the MK1 Focus as precaution rather than having to. I've got the hub assemblies off the car and the bearings sound ok and run nice and smooth by I've read a few stories of these giving up the ghost.

I might just wait and see how they go and then think about it then.

By the sounds of it, these types of tool won't be up to the job.

Thank you.
