Default Changing Propshaft Bearing

Since i'm changing the box and diff thought as might as well do the propshaft bearing too as it more than likely as old as the car
Getting it from GGR;

Are they easy enough to change? Do they just press in and out?
Cheers Rich

Dead easy.....

Pull the bearing holder and rubber off the prop and you'll leave the bearing behind on the spline of the prop....

Plenty WD40 and I tapped mine off with a hammer (working around it) as the legs on my puller weren't long enough.

Clean the WD40 off and put a thin smear of grease on the spline and slide the new one in place and refit bearing holder with the rubber....

QH do the rubber for £3.42, I got the bearing from Burtons
