the oil seal is easy ,stick a good sized screwdriver up the inside of it and lever it out ,alternatavely buy a seel remover[gloryfied screwdriver] ,to replace the seel smear vasaline on the end of the crank and on the seel,place the seel on the end of the crank making sure the inner lip is not turned inside out, then with a small hammer tap the seel gently into the housing making sure that it goes in square .JOB DONE. THE spiggot bearing .....either get a slide hammer and pull it out ,or heat it up with the bottles and then let it cool [this shrinks it] and then it will drop out ,or get a round piece of steel exactly the same size as the end of your spiggot shaft, fill the end of your crank with grease ,stick your piece of metal in [drift] and hit it hard with a large hammer ,the result is to hydraulic the bearing out ,this only works if the bearing is not too tight

Job done now, rear seal was a piece of cake, spigot bearing was much more of a bitch, had to chisel it to break it up and take it out in pieces, scored up the inside of the crank a bit but about 20 mins with a round file sonn sorted that

blazzer2, tried the hydraulic method but no luck, cheers for advice any way

Anyone got advice on fitting the rear spigot? Mine seems too big to fit into the crank end??

to get the spigot bearing out fill the hole with grease then hammer in a piece of bar that is en axact fit, the grease can't compress and the bearing just pops out, I tried this last year and it worked a treat

it got it out easy enough but cant get the new one in. It seems too big. Are there different sized bearings for 2wd and 4wd cranks?

They are all the same size when new, it will compress slightly once fitted (interference fit).

The easiest way to remove them is to do what the youth said , fill the hole with grease and use something that is the same size as the opening to put in there and tap the end with a hammer. I have found using an old input shaft from a gearbox works best as it's exactly the right size funnily enough

Or use a spigot bearing remover.

Sorry guys, there seems to be some confusion with my question.

I don't have an issue getting it out, its getting the new one in.
The new one appears slightly too big to get past the lipped opening.

Do I need to apply some force with a similar sized socket to seat?

Hope that answers your question
