Front Wheel Bearings. Removal Tips Anyone?

[SyncroMonVie]

Morning People,

Looking to replace the front wheel bearings on my panel van when the new ones arrive later this week (wheel bearing and rear seal from brickwerks).

Does any one have any tips or hints on how to approach the job,with out damaging the tapered roller bearing and front seal, and if not does anyone know where you can source the taper roller bearing and front seal.

Thanks.

Fronts aren't taper roller.
They are straight, plain bearings.
Strip hub assembly off.
Press out the hub.
Remove seal.
Remove circlip.
Press bearing out.
Press in new bearing.
Refit circlip.
Refit seals.

Chisel off the inner race thats now stuck to the hub.
Press hub into hub assembly making sure you don't damage or split the new bearing in the process.
The P-clip bolt that hold the flexy in will 75% of the time shear off.
Discs, if been on for a while will be rusted and swolen over the hub, so may need twatting off.
I've had to pummel the f*ck out of a lot of them, destroying the discs in the process.

Thanks Simon,

I'm off to the work shop to give it a go right now.
